We are using Fedora: 14 Samba: 3.5.6-71.fc14 To connect our Windows XP workstations to the Linux box and Samba shares, we use net use .... run three times to connect to the three shares on the Linux box. This works but there is a considerable delay when the net use command executes. Eventuatually (after about 5 seconds) we get the response "the command completed successfully" after which we can see the shares in Windows Explorer and happily read and write to them. We are concerned that: 1. there is a 5 second delay which we do not get on a similar set up using Fedora 7 with Samba on another Linux box. The two Linux boxes have identical smb config files; 2. there may be something more sinister going on which will give trouble in the future. Has anyone experienced this problem and been able to solve it.
