I´m using XP pro on a IBM laptop communicating with UNIX (HP) over a LAN. Typically I have a local unix machine and a few remote unix machines mounted as drives under "My Computer." Copying files from the unix machines to XP in Windows Explorer typically is very slow and often fails. With smb error reporting:

"lib/util_sock.c:(436) read_data: read failure for 9848. Error = Connection reset by peer"

I can copy files with ftp under a cmd window without any serious problems.

I short I have had all sorts of problems with XP-smb-unix communication but for now I settle for understanding the error-report from Samba.
thanks Ll
