Erratic PC Netlink 2.0 (on Solaris 9) - Windows XP printing problem
Hi!
I've set up PC Netlink 2.0 as a PDC for my network composed of a mixture of Win95/98/NT4/2K/XP hosts, while having the print server on the same machine sharing the network printers to everyone. I also have everybody getting their network configuration from a DHCP server located on the same machine (a Netra V120 running Solaris 9). Everything seems to work great except for one thing: every now and then the WinXP hosts aren' able to print, e.g.: "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup". Two minutes later printing works flawlessly, even without restarting the machine. First I blamed it on the flaky network, but this problem doesn't happen with any other hosts with a different operating system, not even Windows 2000.
I've applied all the patches for PC Netlink and installed SP1 for WinXP; the problem didn't go away. I've looked in the logs but nothing suspicious came up. Anyone else had the same / similar problem?
Thanks in advance,
Radu
