samba - Dec 2002 - Word 97 and samba.

Hi

Are there any known problems with Word 97 and Samba. 
I have couple of users that complain about Word loosing
contact with the server. Sometimes with error msg. sometimes not.
Sometimes behaves like its trying to store something but can't do it.
The user is running Word 97-sr2. Find nothing wrong with
words settings. I have disablet oplocks, did'nt help. Any other options that
might help?



Running Samba 2.2.6 on Solaris 8.

I had a problem with auto-timeout from client side :-)
But its a windows problem only ;-)

Type NET CONFIG SERVER and look at SESSION TIMEOUT..
By default you have 15 minutes

Then, if a user is typing from more than 15 minutes, without disk 
access, in a document wich is on a server, the server disconnect the 
client, and crap Word 97 crashes or sends connex problem messages to the 
client!

Type NET CONFING SERVER ? to see how to change the value. Max Value in 
windows 2000 env is about millions :) Watch for support.microsoft.com, 
file Q138365.

Put 65535 minutes instead of 15, will be enough :-)

Z:\>net config server ?
La syntaxe de cette commande est :


NET CONFIG SERVER [/AUTODISCONNECT:minutes]
                   [/SRVCOMMENT:"texte"]
                   [/HIDDEN:{YES | NO}]


Hope this helps.
