hi there,

i have some peculiar problem...i had the connection made for a user and i had mapped his unix username to windows username which turned out to be wrong, due to which he could not write anything from windows. later i changed the username map to refelct the proper username and disconnected the drive from windows restarted the smbd and nmbd and tried to map the drive again it said that the connection still exists..i rebooted the windows pc but again i got the same error..cud anyone suggest where the problem might be..

it said that the connection still exists
In a console window try to play with the NET USE command, something like NET USE * /DELETE

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hello PHV

thanks for the help, actually i had 2 drives connected from the same server which caused this problem. with the net use i was able to identify which connection was causing the problem.

thanks and regards,
