Re: Strange PEER error with Dani's 506 1.81 generic question

With a lot of thanks and praise for Dani's work, I've used the DaniS506.ADD tool for a long time now with no troubles. Haven't changed the version actually in use since the 11-17-2005 release until I've been generically preparing a number of system upgrade 'standardization' box changes on SATA drive boxes.

Everything seemed just fine on work station boxes of all types and lap top units with this change until I changed to this latest release on a PEER server which is an Adaptec SCSI system and only uses the IDE interface for one CD-ROM unit tied to that buss.

These systems are all MCP2 XRC05 latest everything, all kinds of CPU and memory, video, audio ... whatever, totally stable here. But on this SCSI box with the only IDE device in use being the CD-ROM, suddenly on start of network during the boot run I get a strange 'failure to access shares' report!

Curiously, the work station boxes associated with this PEER 'server' seem to have no trouble in accessing any of the 'shared' drives on this box. And the CD-ROM was never one of the 'shared' drives anyway. There seems to be no performance issue on file sharing here any different from before for any 'shared' drive despite the error shown during the boot run.

Any thoughts on this one out here?



I started getting that report about two months ago on my P3 build machine upon its boot. It turn out that some how the firewall got enabled (smb over tcp)! After fixing that I still get the report, even though nothing is broken. I only can think that there is a timing issue in something that works itself out before I can check. I don't even know which machine is causing the report! The report dialog goes away on its own. Sorry that I can not make a suggestion as to what you need to do.
