I can't help much, but I remember having the same problem at school. We had
set up a linux box along with two win95 machines. The prof had set up samba
and although, like you, could ping and get a TX, there were time outs. It
seems that we had forgotten to add the names of the machines(accounts) to
samba's conf files. Once we did that everyone could see everyone. At the
same time that we setting up this small network, there was another prof
setting up an NT server for his class. He couldn't get it to work correctly
and blamed linux (because when he wasn't using his NT Server we dual-booted
over to linux). When he saw how well linux worked, all he could say, and do,
was to complain to the administration that we had screwed up his network. We
had to get rid of linux. It shows how narrow minded the Windows
"administrators" are.
I hope that I may have given you a bit of insite.
Sincerely, David Comeau.
