Server Specifics: #uname -a Linux denali 2.0.35 #1 Thu Jul 23 14:01:04 EDT 1998 i686 unknown #rpm -q samba samba-2.0.3-19990228 using encrypted passwords... Problem Client Specifics: Windows 95 OSR2 Symptoms: There is a long (several second) hesitation when I try to open share on the samba server. Example: Drive U: is mapped to the user shares. If I double-click drive U: under My Computer, I get a several second hesitation before the drive actually opens. This almost always happens the first time I try to open the share after logging into the Samba Server and then it will happen sporadically throughout the day. I've checked the smb log specific to the client that is connecting and I see no errors. Any hints on what I should check next??

Stupid question, do you have drive spindown(sleep) on on the server?

No. But it is not a stupid question. We have several clients connecting to the machine but only one has the hesitation problem.> Stupid question, do you have drive spindown(sleep) on on the server? >-- Bo Kersey email: bo@vircio.com virCIO - managed server solutions phone: (512)374-0500 4314 Avenue C fax: (512)377-3336 Austin, TX 78751-3709 Start your own revolution and cut out the middle man. -Billy Bragg -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This sounds like a problem reconnecting. I'm told that after some idle time, the server will disconnect to conserve resources. There's an option on the Samba side to turn this off. If that machine is consistently having trouble connecting, have a look at the network definitions in control panel. Make sure only one protocol is bound to the MS client. I've heard of problems where Windows gets confused when there are multiple protocols defined, and hunts through them one at at time looking for the one that works. Windows for Workgroups lets you set a "default" protocol, and I found that Samba worked best when that was set to TCP/IP. I had a similar problem with NT, but it turned out to be the Novell client I had installed. Once I removed that, everything worked fine.> -----Original Message----- > From: Bo Kersey [SMTP:bo-lists-samba@vircio.com] > Sent: Monday, May 24, 1999 3:21 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: Re: Long hesitation with Win95 OSR2 client > > No. But it is not a stupid question.
