Thank you in advance for your support!
We have been in production with a logic supply m0n0wall appliance for 3 months and have just ran into problems with dropped connections when copying (trying to backup) 43GB of music file directories with many 3 to 8k mp3 / wav / m4p etc.. files between the opt1 and LAN network segments. The file transfer starts then after a while (between 5+ to 20 minutes more or less) we receive "The specified network name is no longer available" message and the file transfer ends. The network connection is indeed still up / available. We are trying to copy / backup 43GB of music files between the opt1 to the LAN network segment in either a single transaction or broken into many smaller i.e. 1GB transactions. We are able to transfer some files between the networks before we receive the "The specified network name is no longer available” message, although we are unable to effectively backup all the files from opt1 to the LAN network.
Environment:
Linux Samba Server with the music files / directories (fixed IP address on opt1)
Backup machine Win XP dhcp client (we tested with a fixed IP as well, same result) on the LAN segment.
