Samba randomly doesn't connect to local server

[václav čermák]

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 for the office work. All our data are stored on local server (also in the office). I had problem connecting to the server. Or actually I could connect but one day I could open files and edit and other I couldn't. Recently I've discovered that I have to unplug my laptop from the network and connect it during or after login. Then it works just fine.
Here is my version of Samba:
ii samba 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.3 a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix
I'm no geek so I just try to describe the problem in non-tech words.

There are a large number of possibilities. I recently reconfigured samba for
my home network in a manner which seems to drive many people nuts. But I
live behind a gateway router and I know my Windows box is clean and I choose
to live dangerously within the confines of my own home and the reach of my
two open wireless aps.

Can you please attach the output of the dmesg command to this bug report. This sounds more like a network problem.

Thanks

Sorry, I'm no geek. if you provide with exact command to obtain the report I
can do it.
Btw, if I plug the network cable into my laptop right after login I have no
problem using network and edit files on server.

Sure run the following command from the commandline:

dmesg > dmesg.txt

And attach the file dmesg.txt.

Thanks

After 171 days of being expired, I'm going to assume that this bug has been fixed. Most likely in the hardware networking. Feel free to set the status back to New if it is still an issue.
