Hi All, I've recently upgraded an NT4.0 to SP3. I applied the registry file to allow for clear-text passwords. Now I've noticed that when I log in, if I hit the start button immediately after getting the desktop, the machine hangs for a couple of minutes, then the start menu is displayed. The machine is hung during this time. Is there a reason why this happens? My Win95 clients don't do this. It seems like something is timing out... On the NT box, I've got this TCP/IP protocol config: IP Address: <assigned, no dhcp> DNS: <samba machine address> WINS server: <samba machine address> Enable DNS for Windows Resolution: enabled Enable LMHOSTS: disabled I've included the global section from my smb.conf file. The machine is running AIX with samba-1.9.18p2. Thanks is advance for any advice. Corey M.
