Hi All,

I have a problem with my proxy and Windows clients on certain ip ranges on my network.

I've just upgraded my network from a single LDAP/Samba server running on Mandriva 2007 to a dual redundant setup with DNS, NTP and LDAP master/slave on two servers with a seperate PDC and BDC pair authenticating and providing file shares. Authentication on the network for users is fast as lightning. On the old network I had a Mandriva 2007 box with Squid proxying and NTLM auth and this machine has been moved to the new setup. Clients are spread across three IP ranges 172.20.0., 172.20.1. and 172.20.2. with the 0 range being assigned static IPs and the one and two ranges collecting an IP from DHCPD.

If I connect a client to the network, it obtains an address from the DHCP server along with DNS, gateway and WINS server settings but the connection via Squid is slow e.g. 30-120 seconds to obtain a page. If I take the settings from ipconfig and enter them manually but with an IP in the 172.20.0 range, it works perfectly with pages appearing withing 1-2 seconds.

nslookup returns IP's within a second on the proxy and clients and su'ing to a user account on the proxy takes a split second, suggesting that nss and pam_smb are authenticating OK.

On the old network, the proxy worked fine across al three IP ranges, on the new it behaves as above. Is there anywhere I should be looking in particular for clues to this one. I'll be out of the office until Monday but I'll check the mail as soon as I can for a reply.

Many thanks,

Julian PB
