Samba connection lost, RESTART required - is there a gentler way?

I leave my Mac overnight at work at lot while it's running some remote jobs and also connected to a linux box via the corporate Samba network. Every time I come back to my Mac the following morning the Samba connection is lost and I can't save off the results. Presumably this is because of some period of inactivity - all day long while I'm using the Mac the Samba connection is robust. I've tried quitting the Finder, unplugging and replugging the ethernet connector, logging out and logging back in again, creating a new location with no network capabilities and going there and then back to my current location again. The only thing that allows me to reconnect to Samba is a full restart. Is there some Terminal command that I can enter to kick Samba in the pants so I can then do a fresh Connect to Server without restarting (and losing most of the work accomplished overnight)?

I have a similar issue when networking to a Windows box.
Try this:
In Sharing, turn off SMB, click OK and wait. I usually wait a few minutes.
Then turn it back on and wait a little longer.
Can't say whether it will work for you but it works 100% of the time with XP when I lose the Workgroup filesharing connection.
It's better than rebooting or even logging out/in.

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

  • My ipod 5 was stolen but I have find my ipod installed on it but my ipod isn't/never was connected to a wifi network when it was stolen so how will my ipod play sound or go on lost mode and if there's no wifi connected to it?

    my ipod 5 was just recently stolen in a waterpark (same with my best friend) and when i went on to find my ipod I pressed play sound and lost mode but it never successfully did all those things because my ipod wasn't or isn't connected to a wifi network as it says in the app. so how will I ever find my ipod if it never is going to connect to a wifi network without the thief accessing my ipod (I have a passcode). and also when I check the app once in a while it says ipod is online but cannot find location, so does that mean the thief is using my ipod or is trying to get in?

    Yo are correct. It has to connect to internet for the FindMyiPhne features to be transmitted to the iPod

  • Firefox is not responding and will not connect beyond start page. It will not close properly or restart. Is there a solution to this problem?

    2 days ago, firefox just stopped responding. When I open, the start up screen shows but navigating to any other web pages is not possible. All I see is "connecting" and it just spins. No warnings or time outs. I thought it was an issue with my firewall so I went in and manually added firefox to the list of "allowed". That didn't help. I removed all apps, extensions and themes then tried to reset.. that didn't help because firefox wont restart it just hangs and I have to use task manager to end the process. I have tried a forced uninstall then reinstall.. nothing. At this point nothing seems to work. Maybe there is a simple solution I'm just not seeing. For now, it is uninstalled but I really would like to know if there is a way to fix it because firefox is my favorite browser. I'm not finding any maleware or viruses on my computer and other browsers are working just fine.

    Great to hear. Please flag your last post as '''Solved Problem''' so
    that others will know what to do.

  • Programs that require a network connection won't work because there is no virtual IP address available for this session.

    Programs that require a network connection won't work because there is no virtual IP address available for this session.  Per application IP virtualization is enabled.
    There are in fact available IP address's within the dhcp scope.  Before I dig to deep into root cause.. Could the problem be RDS CAL licensing running out, or isn't that not a symptom of my error message?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per my research, there is no any issue related to RDS CAL licensing. Prior to the issue which you are facing, there are some basic setting which need to configure.
    Application Compatibility – Turn on Remote Desktop IP virtualization
    Some applications require a unique IP address, which is by default logically not the case if the application is running on RD Session Host. To solve this issue, Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is introduced. With this setting you enable the IP virtualization
    feature. When enabling this setting you need to specify if the virtual IP is provided per session or per program. When using per program you need to define the executable to which an IP address should be configured. Desktop IP virtualization also needs the
    configuration of the next setting.
    Application Compatibility – Select the network adapter to be used for Remote Desktop IP Virtualization
    When you need to use Remote Desktop IP virtualization configuring this setting is mandatory. You need to specify the IP address of the Network Interface Card which should be used for this feature. Besides the IP address you need also to specify the network
    mask using the slash notation, for example 192.168.77.201/24.
    Application Compatibility – Do not use Remote Desktop Session Host server IP address when virtual IP address is not available

  • FMS 3.0 stops accepting connections after 1-3 days, restart required

    Hi,
    We have a custom application that is running on FMS. Server is dedicated  just for fms, there is only one application running on the server, with  more instances, average traffic is 3-15 simultaneous users. The problem  is, server suddenly stops accepting connections (after 1-3 days from  restart), from this point it is impossible to connect to any instance,  and fms server must be restarted. When the server crashes, the admin  console can see all open instances, can close instances, can restart  fms. There is nothing logged, that would explain this sudden failure.
    Second problem is, cores are connected and disconnected too often,  causing client to reconnect (takes 2-5 seconds).
    Do you have any idea what is causing these problems?

    We have seen similar issues and the best work around is to have your clients connect on alternate cores/servers. The way to accomplish this really depends on your type of application.

    Bought 5th gen ipod week ago. Don't use my home computer much:
    - iBook G3
    - OS X 10.2.8
    - iTunes 3
    Updated my software, connected the ipod and immediately starting syncing and listening to music. Imported 20 CDs...all good.
    Today, computer froze when I tried to eject the ipod. I restarted the computer and when I came back to it, everything is erased from my ipod. Everything still on itunes. Started to Update everything back to the ipod and realized that the ipod was not showing up in my itunes library.
    Done the 5 R's, except I can't install the most recent version of itunes because I'm not on OSX 10.3 or above.
    Please tell me there's a way to fix this without having to purchase new operating system software.
    Thanks to anyone who will respond.

    And which iPhoto version did you use before this happened?
    If you upgraded from iPhoto 7.1.2 or earlier, you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader.  Restore your iPhoto lIbrary from your backup to the state before the upgrade, then download, install, and run the upgrader, use this link  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
    If you upgraded from a newer iPhoto version, see this discussion:
    Re: It appears my iPhoto Library is corrupt after upgrade ...
    Are you seeing a folder "Old Masters", when you are ctrl-clicking your iPhoto Library and using "How Package Contents"?
    Also see this discussion:  Re: Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6 upgrade, large photo library is not recognised.

  • HT4623 I have lost my Iphone is there any way to track it?

    I have lost my Iphone is there any way to track it?

    The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

  • DRM Batch Client Error - ORA03135 connection lost contact

    Hi All,
    We have the DRM 11g installed on Windows machine and migrated this server recently to a new datacenter(DC1) however the database connected to this DRM server is still on the original datacenter(DC2).
    DRM works fine after the migration except for few issues in the nightly jobs scheduled on DRM server for doing exports. The scheduled job is invoking DRM batch client and failing with the following error.
    Unexpected error in drm-batch-client: Error received from DRM Process Manager service using address: net.tcp://localhost:5210/Oracle/Drm/ProcessManager/: ORA-03135: connection lost contact
    However this error does not occur if we restart the DRM services(thru config console) and rerrun the batch client automatically. Looks like DRM is loosing connectivity to the application server process , is it anything do with the timeouts between IIS and Weblogic server ?
    Any insights on this problem would be really helpful.
    Thanks,
    RB

    Hi RB,
    This isn't going to be connection between IIS and Weblogic as DRM does not use Weblogic (aside from the manual configuration for the DRM web service). The error that you're getting is being returned from your database server and seems to indicate that the connection to the Oracle database server has been dropped for some reason. There are some suggestions on what to do to try and resolve the ORA-03135 error here ORA-03135 Connection Lost Contact Tips
