[Samba] RE: XP Pro timeout; we have a winner - webclient service
Thanks to Jason Balicki for the correct fix to this problem. The 'webclient' service in Windows XP, somehow interferes with access to the Samba server. With the service stopped and disabled, the clients are working again.

Any graphical application will fall into a seemingly endless timeout when attempting to access the Samba server. Print jobs will stay in the XP print queue for as much as 1/2 hour, and then print normally. The odd thing is that access from any non-graphical application (cmd.exe) on the XP clients is instantaneous. Two XP Pro workstations (version 2002, SP1) are exhibiting this behaviour. The rest of the company (Win2k, Win98, Win95, WinNT) is working fine. There are no other XP workstations on the network. The Samba server was upgraded from 2.2.8a last Friday. The upgrade worked fine for two working days before this problem showing up today. Included below are many of the specifics of my installation, and current log file excerpts for your scrutiny. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide. Lane Beneke; IT Manager Stephenson Millwork Co., Inc.

The other option is to make sure you *do not* run port 80 on that server, or that Apache is running. The worst possible situation is something that causes XP to have to timeout, or a server that does not return 'please don't do that' in the form the XP wants to the WebDAV requests. (I had an open source project called 'belts' running there, which caused mayhem).
