426 Connection closed: The specified network name is no longer available

[EwarWoo]

Hi guys

I've recently been hooked up to DSL and I am going via a router/switch/firewall combo type box.
Since then I keep getting this error:
[R] 426 Connection closed: The specified network name is no longer available.
[L] 426 Data connection: Illegal seek.
[R] Transfer Failed!
Its definately something with the router, as I've tried on both machines connecting to it and same result, I'm just not sure where to start on trying to fix it, never had a router before so a bit of a n00b in this area.
I connect to ioFTPD via the external IP and I am fxp'ing to myself if any of that makes a difference
Any ideas will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Which FTP server is sending and which is receiving?

I am guessing that R (right) is the receiving server and L (left) is the sending server. The 'Illegal seek' message is probably a drive or file system error (or a bug), which then caused the data connection (transfer) to be aborted. When the receiving server attempts to receive data, the ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED (The specified network name is no longer available.) error is returned since the connection is no longer valid.

Thanks for the reply Neo. And you're right, [R] is the receiving.
And the 426 is caused by the specified network name.....etc. Its definately a network error and not an hd one, however unfortunately have no idea how to go about fixing. Hehe

U didn't understand what neoxed said.
The [L] side tries to send a file, but can't because the HD is bad or something similar.
The [R] side then tried to connect to receive the file, but the [L] side already closed the socket which would be used for that, so [R] returns an error.

Network errors are easy to fix - but the issue is this, do you
have access to both networks - that is the issue...

If the error is on your end as I assume, as you are trying to
fxp to YOUR system and then the error takes place - YES ?


If so, then --- Try this: the easy way first...


Log into your system (user or admin) and make sure you DO USE
a password...NOT AUTO...

Remap your network drives and as you make the mappings you
will see a section there where it ASKS for a PASSWORD for the
current user or admin....use this section...and use your
PASSWORD to map your drives to that person...

THEN -

each log on = password

each session will "NOT" go into MS DUMB MODE and send you
it can not find your network drives.

This is the easy way to see if that is the issue...which in most
cases of a lost network device - it is...

Hope this did it for you.
