I'm experiencing the same problem. We are using W98 and XP clients with Office97. Word and Excel both produce the same problem. When you open a file there is no oplock --> after saving the first time there is an "EXCLUSIVE+BATCH" oplock. I think this might be somehow connected to another Problem we've got with oplocks. Sometimes i'm getting opplock_break failures for different clients - both 98 and Xp. <-- Oct 7 15:22:04 wegenstein -- MARK -- Oct 7 15:42:04 wegenstein -- MARK -- Oct 7 15:59:00 wegenstein /USR/SBIN/CRON[23923]: (root) CMD ( rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly) Oct 7 16:10:27 wegenstein smbd[23944]: [2003/10/07 16:10:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(797) Oct 7 16:10:28 wegenstein smbd[23944]: oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds.

During this time i can't browse the contents of the mapped network drive. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem are highly apreciated.
