It's probably timing out meaning that it is taking so long that OOCalc eventually gives up. This would seem to indicate that it's strictly a performance problem of some sort. 1. Post the smb.conf for the server. Use the following procedure: testparm > dumpfile.txt[enter][enter]. Edit the file to remove anything that isn't relevant and then paste the remainder into a mail message. 2. Post the client side connection procedure and any errors. > exceptionally slow, though this is never as bad from any other application. Are these other applications using smaller files? >>1.

Have you considered using an NFS mount in the short term until you get the bugs worked out? It's easy. If you like I can show you how. > Shorewall is not installed on this (the client) box, and windows boxes can > save correctly, indicating that shorewall on the server is working > correctly. OK, but of course I had to ask. >>3. File system permissions on your share directories.

If we always do our testing with it chmod 777 we know that it really can't be a permissions issue. We also have to concern ourselves with the possibility that there might be more than one issue as well as the idea that the problems may not be obvious. Since there *might* be a permissions issue that we don't understand we make the share world writable during testing as a matter of procedure. If you have important files in that directory that you want to safeguard, consider creating an empty directory for sharing during the test procedure. :-) >>With nmap you can check both from the same box: ... > need very specific instructions. Do you have nscd running on either of these machines? If not give it a try on both.
