[Samba] Explorer hangs for about 5 minutes before displaying samba share contents
Hi, I have a pda running Linux and Bluetooth (wireless connectivity at < 1Mbps). I have a samba server on the device. Now I establish an IP connection over Bluetooth to the device from windows xp. At this point, from windows, I am able to use the "net use" command and map a drive to a share on the device.>From the command prompt, I can view the files, edit them, save them into theshare etc. So far so good. However, If I type "explorer.exe z:" (assuming Z: is mapped to the samba share), explorer locks hangs (appears to hang) for about 4-5minutes and then it comes back to life and I can see the files, folders on the samba share. What is going on? Is there some registry setting or something that I can do on the windows side. I read about the "scheduled tasks" thing and I deleted that registry key so I am pretty sure that is not causing the delay. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Murali
