Interesting note: I have a laptop with an integrated 802.11b interface, and a 10/100
interface. Normally, I use the 10/100 for the sake of speed, but occasionally I
like to go for a walk with the unit. Basic services such as mail, web, etc. are
basically unaffected (except in the area of throughput), but SMB goes into a
FUNK! Trying to access my Samba server (2.2.6) over the wireless causes
Explorer to slow to a crawl (no discernable CPU utilization), which causes the
machine to become a real turtle. I haven’t created any shares on my Win2K
server to see if it has the same confusion. What I find sorta deplorable is that whatever the condition
is – it basically renders my laptop worthless except for browsing and
reading mail. I have to make sure I kill any mapped drives before pulling the
10/100 cable. The laptop is running SP3, so it’s not a “fixed”
issue. If anybody has any suggestions – I am not expecting
any, but I would happily try anything. Don Woodruff |
