Hi all, I am having a problem with adding an NT to a samba driven net or a samba server to the MS network.. here is the net layout: (1)win95----| 196.168.1.20 winNT----| 196.168.1.19 | + break point A | RH4.0-----| 196.168.1.254 RH5.1-----| 196.168.1.1 (2)win95----| 196.168.1.5 OK HERE GOES: when the RH5.1 box is off then transfers between my winnt box and the rest of the network are fine ie: total network saturation when slow speed is encountered it is aprox. 800K in 4 min. when i add RH5.1 box the NT box has: fast transfers with #2 win95 fast transfers with RH4.0 slow transfers with #1 win95 slow transfers with RH5.1 the #1 win95 has: slow transfers with #1 win95 fast transfers with RH4.0 fast transfers with RH5.1 fast transfers with #2 win95 if i separate the net into two nets at break point A then transfers are full speed. the same thing was happening when the RH5.1 was on a 486 as now with complete hardware change. any help would be appreciated jon arnold
