I was using my V64 at home as a file server inside the house. I can crash the service inside of 30 seconds by selecting an entire folder of content & copying it to the V64 share from MacOS or Linux. I found that as long as I only select 5 files at a time when copying content, I haven't had the crashes. As I'm only using 4 different devices on the network, I'm good. There's 2 groups of people that have had these issues: -People having SMB2 problems, disabling SMB2 fixes it for them -People having issues with the 10 connection limit on SMB. I'm in the second category. It looks like linux/mac OS will create multiple smb connections when doing a large number of files. This makes SMB blow up on Vista. Very annoying. I'm file serving off Linux instead now. This is a really annoying problem in Vista/etc. Basically, you don’t share files from a Vista machine.

Machine goes inaccessible after a few hours of a restart. I will try turning off SMB2. I’m having this issue on XP Pro x64 and Vista Business x86 (same box, changed OS thinking that would help).

If disabling SMB2 didn't fix your issue then it's probably something different to the one I found, which is a pity. I haven't seen the 2017 errors since I "upgraded" to the Windows 7 beta, though I guess that beta software isn't a good solution for your client. This leaves the options of messing with XP (still in violation of the license), switching a Server system, or figuring out the root cause. Good luck!

Vista Business 32. Clients (about 15) are XP pro, and Vista business, all 32bits. Every ~24-48h, I have to reboot the server !!! Because nobody can access it anymore ! Hundreds of Event ID 2017 in system log. Even disabling SMB2 doesn't fix this !! I'm looking for a fix for days !! Should I definitely forget about this and install a XP Pro instead ? DAMN!

Frustrating because I don't like the workarounds much either. Restarting "Server" really isn't too bad though - it only affects existing sessions so you can just do it when no one's using the box.
