Hi all
I've recently run into an issue with my server and Samba
I have no idea what has gone wrong, as all has been working fine, until a few days ago
The past week our internet had become unstable, dropping connection every hour or so, and oddly enough, I was was struggling to connect to my server, but didn't think much of it, I presumed it was possibly something else, and was coincidence
But every time the internet went down, I would battle to access the server, once the internet was up again, it would work 100%
Now the other day, after logging a fault with our ADSL provider, the wise and wonderful Telkom technician came to sort it out, and made it worse, somehow, and kindly blamed it on our hardware, which is not the issue
Non the less, now that the internet is down, I have no access to my server via samba
I can ping it, and access it via SSH, and all my other services, like SABNZBD or webmin, can still be accessed via my browser
I have no idea why it has dropped, I've tried different Samba configurations, but non have helped
I can see the server on the network, but it can never connect
We have another server on the network, running ubuntu, and it is still running fine
I thought about reinstalling samba, but that is not going to be easy with the lack of an internet connection
Anyone have any ideas, because I'm stumped
