[dba-Tech] Windows June 2011 Update: Breaks network share?

Hi Gustav:

I have a mixed network with both Linux and Windows machines and it is great
in that I have access to best of both worlds but keeping the network
connected and all the stations working together can be a real problem
especially when there is a new Ubuntu release or Windows update. It seems
that the problems are caused by subtle changes in security and network
protocols. 

Many an evening has been wasted resolving these bazaar problems.
Fortunately, for the internet and the flexibility of Samba.

As to your specific problem I can not speak.

Jim

Hi all

Suddenly a WinXP client machine couldn't see a NAS shared by workgroup it
has been accessing for years. Other machines - Win7, Win2003, and WinXP -
could still see the NAS.

I investigated "everything" without finding a clue. Finally I did a system
restore to Jun. 14th morning ... and voilá, the network drive was back!

Anyone else have seen this? I've searched on Google hi-and-lo without
finding anything at all which I find a bit strange.
