Hey Guys, I have a linux machine that is running Debian Linux with kernel version 2.2.17. I compiled Samba 2.0.7 and I have my configuration working correctly but when I put a large load on Samba, my network on the server crashes. It seems that it only crashed when using Samba. I have ftp'ed from the server and downloaded large files and that works fine. I have sent large amounts of data to the server using FTP and that works fine. But when I transfer a lot of data using Samba, the network dies. I have run "/etc/init.d/networking stop" then "/etc/init.d/networking start" again to get everything back up. I have put Samba in a various debug levels but I can't find any clues. If anyone need any extra info to further assit me then please let me know. Thank you, Steve steve@stevenet.olafsolutions.com

I run Debian to exept: 1) I run a 2.2.16 kernel because of my raid 5 system (Dell poweredge 2400) 2) I compile my own samba because I needed cups support and potato does not have cups compiled in. Does it run from inetd or as deamons? I run it from deamons. Ries
