similar to: samba on linux seems slower than win95 as server

Hi I am new to this list, but I have been having problems with samba for some time now. Here is the problem When my Win95 clients access the samba server I get real slow transfers, even if I only have one client accessing the server. It transfers at like 70k/s to 150k/s, and the collision lights on the hub start going crazy. even for 10 megabit networking, this is rather slow. (it takes like 3

Thanks to those who wrote and suggested I remove NetBEUI from my Win95 machines. Here's the next chapter in the story: First, based on another suggestion, I tried "netstat -a" on the Win95 machine "secretary". It didn't show any kind of traffic on ports 137-139 (even though files WERE being shared at the time). Next, I tried removing NetBEUI from

I cannot print across my subnets using microsoft win9networking. I have two subnets 192.168.0 & 192.168.1 of which the linux running samba server is the router using two ethernet cards . Workstations on both subnets share their printers from win95. Win95 machines from both sides of the subnet can telnet to both ethernet cards on the server and can also ping all machines across the two

Samba is working perfect on our main subnet, but it won't for any additional subnets on this domain. We use NT authentication and my system is an RS/6000. I just found out that our routers for these additional subnets have netbeui/netbios turned off. Network Admin. said it's because they're set not to allow broadcasting (and they're not going to start), and turning

Hi, I'm lucky enough to have samba working fine on SuSE 8.0, sharing a printer with several windows computers. Earlier today I even had my new wireless card working on a Win95 laptop and it could see the whole network, and I wirelessly printed from my living room. COOL. Unfortunately, I screwed it up. The wireless card seems to conflict with the old pcmcia (wired) card and so I

I've studied the books, searched the list archives, etc. I suspect there is someone who can just tell me one thing to tweek, so I humbly beg your advice. Situation: I am playing with/learning Linux, intending to replace our two company Netware servers sometime in the next 6 months. At home, I have an NT4.0/SPC PDC, an NT4.0/SP6 docked laptop, and an HP server with RH7.1 or 7.2 (2.4.??

Greetings All: I hope everyone had a fun Halloween weekend (I carved 4 big pumpkins and gave out a bucket full of rubber eyeballs and stuff). I'm hoping somebody can explain the password behavior I've been seeing (and a couple of other things). Here's my setup: An isolated LAN (most clients have modems for dialling out) with one linux/samba machine (RedHat 4.2, kernel 2.0.30,

Hi I had sent a mail about a week ago regarding a xcopy problem I had. I am trying to copy an image of an nt workstation from an unixware 2.1.3 server running samba 1.9.18p8. Initially the client is a dos client, who connects to the unixware server and downloads files using xcopy. My problem after copying a certain number of files xcopy fails with path not found. On further investigation I

I'm just about to give up in despair of getting Samba working on my network. I've browsed through several books, HOWTOs and websites and still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Before I quit, could someone double check this and maybe spot what I've missed? First, let me describe my network. Names and IP addresses have been changed to protect the innocent. :-)

I have posted this question 3-4 weeks ago, but still get no response. In my environment, I have one Linux box running Samba 1.8.18p5, and there are about 20 Win95 clients which is in the same network. The porblem I usually encountered is when I click on the samba server icon in the NN icon, sometime I can get thru without any problem. However, there are also many times that I got error message

Hi, is it possible to print to a intel netport express? i am on a linux machine, every other machine on the network is a win95 or nt machine and i cant figure out why it wont let me print to the netport. when i do smbclient '\\Np1\np1_lpt1' -P it just times out and gives this error. smb-print.log -------------------------------------------------------------------- server NP1, service

Hello, A client of mine has this ancient software called VideoPrinter (working on Win98) and an ancient hardware that connects to the PC through both LAN cable and serial (COM) cable. I decided to give this software a try with wine 0.9.60 running on Slackware 12, kernel 2.6.23.4. The software installs without problems and after adding the appropriate registry keys the COM is recognized. But the

HI all ! I've read in a doc, that Samba is talking only with the clients where Netbios over TCP/IP is running ! I guess it is true, but are there any solution maybe to connect with a client where only the NETBEUI is the only one installed protocol ? It would be from DOS, I have a DOS boot disk which is waking up the Netbeui, and it would be difficult to prepare it to wake up the TCP/IP !

I am running Samba 2.2.8a on solaris 5.7 machines. I have had 2 subnet working just fine for years. I'm trying to add a 3rd subnet. I am having a problem with my XP machines on a third subnet. I have changed the registry so: requiresignorseal = 0 and requiresecurechannel = 0 and rebooted. and Enable NetBIOS over TCPIP is set. I have two XP machines one with NETBEUI install and one without

Hello all, There is still a use for netbeui (non-routed protocol) in the network. If you are using a VPN client that does not allow split tunneling, you can still access printers on another local system with netbeui. I would like to remove the windows system and have my print shares on my Linux system with Samba. Is all consideration of netbeui within the Linux/Samba environment gone?

>From time to time someone will comment in this list that their Samba server has disappeared from the list of hosts in Network Neighborhood. Browsing the list archive has yet to turn up any good explanation of this phenomenon. I think I have a clue. This morning my server disappeared again. When I checked the process list on the server I noticed that nmbd had been swapped out to disk. The

Hi, I've got a Samba server here that runs great! I've got an NT machine on my laptop and I can interface with the Samba server directly in any way I want, except for one thing: When I try to install a program (Visio) as a network shared app, the installation always tells me "I've determined that the target drive doesn't support long file names" after I choose to

I just ran into a completely unexpected problem. It appears that the Kingston SOHO Hubs don't do TCP. They do NETBEUI very well. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I went home and got my cheap Bay Networks 8 port hub and everything worked. This is to hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem. Nothing on Kingstons site mentions no TCP support but swapping only the hub worked

Hi, in my Office, I'm trying to replace a Novell-server by a Linux-server. On the Novell-server, there is the SYS: volume. On this volume is a directory named DriveT. I did a map on it, so this SYS:DriveT was used as T: . If you link Excel sheets, which are stored on T:, to Word documents, Word unfortunately saves the UNC path, which is \\SERVER1\SYS\DRIVET instead of T: On my new Samba

Hello: Is it possible to run SAMBA over IPX/NetBeui? (I will thank any suggestion) I hava an small LAN of 3 computers, connected to the Internet through a Cable-modem with DHCP (the cablemodem and the computers are all connected to a hub). The CableModem assigns every computer a random public IP adress, but usually from diferent range (ie: 212.78.x.x, 62.57.x.x, etc), so I cannot get SAMBA or
