Windows 7 'File server' disconnects when XP machine connects to network

Hi guys,
We have a small office setup here, we have two Windows 7 machines, three Windows XP machines and one Windows 7 machine that acts as a fileserver (folder sharing and an SVN repository).
Every morning, I turn up to work, turn on my Windows 7 machine and the system works fine, but, as soon as one of my collegues turn up and boot up their Windows XP machines, the fileserver disconnects. The only way to get the fileserver up and running is
to restart it, this is obviously tedious and irritating. It only happens when an XP machine connects to the network and not when a Windows 7 machine connects.
Does anybody have an experience with this sort of issue or have an suggestions to resolve it?
Thanks, Simon.

Firstly, I am a Tier III Computer Technician/Software Programmer/Network Engineer who has been working on MS OS' since DOS3.
Secondly, Someone named Alex Zhaozx gets the ID10T award as he marked this as a solution. Alex... How is posting a MS OS license a resolve? 
There is no resolution posted here.
For understanding, all references to Windows 7 will be marked as TRAP7 in the following info. After reading, you will understand why.
  The other major note Simon has not mentioned, is that when the "disconnect" happens, all Windows XP machines can still interface with each other over the network perfectly (accessing each others Shares and drive mappings with zero network connection
issues). The TRAP7 machines can interface will all facets of each of the TRAP7 and Windows XP computers on the network with zero connection issues. It appears MS has placed a condition or timer to cause the disconnect to XP on introduction to the network. Simon
is slightly incorrect is his statement this only happens when a XP machine is booted, as it happens on all connection methods (whether it be wake from sleep and attempt to reconnect or access TRAP7 share/drive, idle computer attempting to access TRAP7 share/drive,
Windows XP computer attempting to access files on the TRAP7 file server for the first time, after each have been up and running independently (on the network) perfectly for hours...
We have a larger scope than Simon with 45 machines and 17 of them being Windows XP, the others are TRAP7 (32 and 64 bit varied) with 1 on Vista (The beginning of the end for MS OS'). 
I have been searching all MS sites and the other techie sites for a resolve and there has not been one "valid" resolution to this problem they have caused. Or was is my fault for using Windows 7 on a near perfect network?
C'mon maaaan. (intended for Bill Gates) Get this resolved or get out of the OS game, there are so many better OS's out there. Stop TRYING to DO things and start DOING them the right instead.
Belief: This is an issue caused by MS with full intention of forcing everyone to fully convert all at once because they are not getting the money they used to, as the global economy is now whacked. You notice... They have never stepped up to say anything
in this post. They just quickly made an attempt to brush this under the carpet.
BTW Alex Z: When you are ready to step up and get involved, let me know. I will get you any technical information you need to get this resolved.

    Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
    I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff.

  • Query on integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

    hi
    I have sucessfully integrated windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV. I have query in it regarding the possible validation against the portal Database user. Can we configure such that the user comparison happens for LDAP as well as database user. Have anyone configured such a scenario?
    Regards,
    Ganesh N

    Hi Ganesh,
    this should work in principle.
    However you would need a user in Active Directory for each user in the portal database that should connect to the file server if you are using the SSO22KerbMap Module as I assume.
    In my whitepaper I have mentioned this for the internal user index_service that does only exist in the portal database.

  • Portal on Unix cannot mount Windows File server

    Hi Experts,
    We had installed a NW 7.0 portal onto HP-UNIX server and integrated it with MS AD server. Now, we are facing an issue that we cannot mount windows files server when we tried to configured it with TREX. Had anyone tried this function or it is the limitation? Is the following statement still correct or do we have workaround solutions?
    "If you are using the Microsoft Active Directory Service, you can only integrate documents into a Windows portal. The combination of Microsoft Active Directory Service and a UNIX portal is not supported."
    Best Regards

    Hi Tom,
    have a look at this link:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
    Your issue should work, but the prerequisite is for using the windows permissions:
    "If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service, you have to operate the Windows domain in mixed mode". If it is running in Native mode you cannot use the windows permissions. Nevertheless integrating documents into KM should work. The KM uses its own permissions instead.

  • Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection

    Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection
    It is expected that the disconnection sequence for a secure connection to be as follow:
    client ************************* server
    --- alert (warning, close notify) --->
    <--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
    in any order;
    and then:-
    --------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
    <----------- FIN, ACK ---------------
    ------------------ ACK ----------------->
    Instead of the sequence described above, the TCP connection for a secure connection is closed with an RST.
    For instance, Wireshark capture shows that an SSL+SASL TCP connection is closed in the following manner:
    client ************************** server
    --- alert (warning, close notify) ---->
    ---------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
    <--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
    <----------- FIN, ACK ---------------------

    I agree it should be an ACK not an RST but it doesn't really matter. The connection is closed, and as neither the client nor the server has any pending data it is benign. Worth investigating in a later JRE.

    Hi Ganesh,
    this error message tells you that there is no user in your active directory that has the userPrincipalName xxxx.
    The SSO22KerbMapModule works as follows.
    1. It receives a SAP Logon Ticket from the WebDAV request.
    2. If valid the SAP username is extracted. In your case the SAP username is xxxx.
    3. It then searches for a user in AD. It does so using the attribute in the ini-file that has been specified to contain the SAP username. In your case the SAP username should be identical with the userPrincipalName.
    So you have to make sure that the portal user id (j_user) is mapped to the same AD user attribute  that is specified in the ini-file .
    Best regards,
    Andre

  • How can I open the windows file directory in "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger

    Dear All,
    How can I open the windows file directory in “WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED” trigger?

    Blessan Joseph,
    The solution is dependent on your Forms version and if your applications is traditional Client/Server (CS) (Forms 6i and lower) or web deployed (Forms 6i and higher). For CS, you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in as Faa demonstrated. For Web, you will need to use the WebUtil library function Client_Get_File_Name() as Sarah (OGIR) demonstrated. Both of these functions will return the full path to a file. Note: WebUtil is an external library so it requires you to perform some configuration on your developer client as well as on the Application Server. WebUtil is included with Forms 9i and higher, but you must download it for Forms 6i.
    My requirement is user should able to select windows directory for the output.Do you really need to allow the user to write to a file in the Windows directory? This is very dangerous and you should not allow users or programs to write to the Windows directory. Users should only be able to write files to "User" directories (\My Documents\<Directory name>).

  • Can I store referenced master files on a shared folder on a windows file server?

    I have a windows file server where I have setup shared folders that my Macbook can access. Is it a supported configuration to keep my referenced master files on the windows share?

    I hardly ever use the Bridge.  I mostly use the Bridges to work one groups of new image RAW to edit metadata and create ACR settings.  I don't use bridge features like collections or use the bridge to organize my image and I also don't use Lightroom.    I mostly use Photoshop and Window's File explorer with my Image files.  I have installed FastPictureViewer Codeg package to get thumbnails  for RAW and PSD files in a Window's dialog.   I don't like the delays introduced in workflows that are cause by the overhead requires for Bridge Cashes and Lighroom Databases.
    However for you with 50 users sharing assets on network drives I would think you would need a library system above and beyond Bridge and Lightroom. A library system that provides access and version processes so users don't step on each others work.
    If you want to use the bridge I do not believe it would be possible to use a shared cashed where multiple instances of the Bridge could concurrently maintain a common cache. I do not believe either Bridge or Lighroom design would have the locking protocols required for shared concurrent use.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    For a server to be accessible on the inetrnet it needs to have an externally visible IP address. For example, an address which starts with 192.168.1 is for internal use only can only be used by other machines on the same internal network. The server's firewall needs to allow the port you are using access and the client has to be able to lookup up the IP address either using the hosts file or via a DNS service. None of these things have anything to do with Java programming, so if you have any more questions I sugegst you try googling them or ask a forum which relates to these issues.
    The connection time out is due to the fact that there is no way to contact an inetrnal address over the inetrnet. The host unknwown means you haven't configured your PC to lookup that address. i.e. the host is unknown.

  • Mount windows file server over vpn

    I have a Windows(2003SP2) file server within some LAN with IP 192.168.10.10 and with shared folder structure like
    /Sity/District/
    I am authorised to connect to this LAN over VPN (it works) and to connect to /Sity, but I am authorized only to see and modify files within /District folder.
    With the command 'smbclient -U username //192.168.10.10/Sity' in Terminal I can connect to the server and e.g. get all the files from /Sity/District/. However, neither mount_smbfs in Terminal nor Connect to Server in Finder can mount the share - error is
    mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Connection refused, Finder complain about the username and the password. The /etc/nsmb.conf has the following structure
    [default]
    minauth=none
    Is there a way to mount such share?

    Yes, it replies 'could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct'.
    Same for almost all combinations of smb://WORKGROUP;user:password@IP/Sity[/District]
    I also tried different options for mount_smbfs like '-I' with no result. Error reads
    mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Connection refused
    There is also no network browsing (mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.1.1.)
    But the smbclient works and I can get the folder structure.

  • Windows File Protection error when installing 9i client

    While installing the 9i client I am getting a Windows file protection error message on all 5 of the test machines.
    If I cancel out of the message the install finishes correctly and everything seems to function properly.
    However, it is prety counterintuitive to have to cancel out of the message when we are wanting to do these installs in silent mode.
    Anyone else have this problem, or any ideas on fixing?

    nm, fixed it myself.
    The Oracle install was replacing regsvr32.exe with an old version. When WFP detects a file protection problem, it first looks at the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache dir for a known good copy of the file to restore. If it doesn't find one in there, then it pops the dialog up and asks for a CD. If it does find one then it silently restores it in the background.
    So, now at the beginning of my script I have a script checking the dllcache dir for regsvr32.exe, if it is there it moves on to the install, if it is not then it copies the one from their current system32 dir into the system32\dllcache dir. That way when Oracle replaces it WFP will silently restore their previous version.

  • File Server Crash when opening excel document

    Hi,
    I'm having a strange issue.
    We have a 2012 file server (clustered), now when a user emails a UNC link to a file (excel)on this file server, everyone in the company (250-300 users) seems to open this at around the same time and then all resources on the server then seem to be denied.
    Not just to this file. No failover, just unable to access anything else on this server.
    Here's what nagios tells me, No memory issues, A cpu spike to 20%around the time.
    Nothing in the cluster log, nothing in application,system event logs.
    The network card is 4*1gb/s teamed (nagios/whatsup gold say this isnt being hammered)
    Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot further?

    1. Check whether event ID : 2011 and 2012 event ID's are registering in event viewer.
    2. I am suspecting issue at IRPStack size limit, Since all users are accessing at a time
    3. If you are suspecting issue at Handle count side,
    4. Identify the handle count which is more than 5000 and perform according to application.
    You can refer below links to work with Handles.
