No, i don't. Actually my fileserver acts as our wins server as well. It's a pretty bare bones linux network setup, no kooky windows stuff at all. No pdc, just wins server, dns/router box, and a few others. Thanks for the reply tom.
I still can't figure out why xp is sooooo slow. Tested the same samba share on a win2k box and it is lightning fast. click, click, click, you get the picture. Why xp, why? anyone else? -chris -------Original Message------- > From: Tom Skeren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Samba] Windows XP slow access to network places shortcut? > Sent: 19 May 2004 22:11:06 > > Do you have a W2k or W2k3 domain?��If so, it's may be due to windows > waiting to time out getting/checking kerberos tickets. > > samba wrote: > > >All, > > > >In winxp & 2k for that matter, you have the ability of saving shortcuts to network places in the my network places. When some of my users try to access these shortcuts(to a samba share) in winxp, it takes a horrendous amount of time for the folders to populate the screen. Especially when viewing in windows explorer with the folders view button depressed. Under tools>folder options>view tab, I have unchecked Automatically search for network folders and printers and also unchecked Use simple file sharing(recommended). Any ideas as to what might be causing the slowness? Also, under XP is there any way to get around having to do the %name to access a samba share? e.g. \\fileserve\share\subfolder%user ?? Any info/advice/comments/criticism is welcome!!
