Hi,
We’re running 10.4.3 server quite happily with mixture of XP/Tiger workstations. Authentication and remote homes are working fine and life is good.
But:- we have a small number of XP laptops. When they’re out of the office/the wifi breaks and they try to login, they’re getting “domain unavailable” errors. The only way to get access to the machine is to log in as a local user as a short term fix. As soon as there’s a network connection again, everything works fine.
Anybody come across anything similar/have any suggestions? It’s quite frustrating!
Thanks in advance!
Sorted it through a Google search for similar issues with Samba.
Our users were logging in with a username of firstname.surname, which gets translated by 10.4 into their shortname – ie firstnamesurname.
Enter the version with the stop and Windows won’t cache, enter the shortname direct and it caches correctly, allowing logins regardless of network connection.
