Hi guys, I have an 8.2 linux server under my desk and a laptop dual booting winXP and mdk8.2. I also have a win2000 server on my network, (its all for testing scripts on different platforms.)
anyway, my problem is some weird interaction between XP and samba... The win2000 box can access all smb shares on the linux machines, fast and easy. The laptop booted to linux can also browse the samba shares on the linux server easily. but when the laptop is booted to XP, and I try to access a share on the smb server, it takes ages for it to open the shares... (most of the time, sometimes, like immediately after a "service smb restart" it happens quickly.) If the win2000 box can do it instantly, and the laptop booted to linux can do it instantly also, (its all 100+ network) Then the problem must be some interaction between XP and Samba on the linux server... Has anyone come accross this before?? The following samba packages are installed. samba-common-2.2.3a-10mdk samba-swat-2.2.3a-10mdk samba-client-2.2.3a-10mdk samba-2.2.3a-10mdk samba-doc-2.2.3a-10mdk samba-winbind-2.2.3a-10mdk I think they are all standard 8.2 packages. Any help resolving this would be very much appreciated, its driving me nuts going to save a file to the linux box and having to wait for 2 minutes for it to show up in the save dialog box (the server itself shows up fine, its just the contents of a share that takes ages, and its any share on the box, they are all really slow, (there are about 10 different shares on the linux box's 40 gig hard disk. Any ideas on this one would be truely fantastic. regards Franki
