I have an infrequent problem that sometimes when I'm accessing files on my samba-server, it happens from time to time that the client computer appears to hang for a limited time. Say 20-30 seconds. It doesn't matter if it is a small file .TXT file or a large DivX movie. This has happened to me with different versions of samba, and I first suspected that it might be power-saving on the server. But the powersaving is turned off, and even if it was the reason, it shouldn't take so long to power up a couple of disks. I've also wondered if it might be some sort of DNS lookup that samba attempts, but fails (because there is usually no connection available to a DNS server.) That might explain why it takes so long before it continues. Now I have removed all references to any DNS server, but this phenomena still occurs. I guess having no DNS-server configured would make Samba/linux to just skip any DNS lookup. Are there anybody out there who has experienced something like this? Hints are welcome! :)
