Strange problem with Samba (2.2.8) and Word 2002. When trying to open a word document on a Samba share from a Windows 98 workstation, Word hangs and never opens the file. User has full access to the share and can copy the file to the local computer in Explorer and then open the file in Word from the local drive. Then they can copy it back to the server. This is what they've been doing as a workaround. Users who are running Windows XP and Word 2002 do not have this problem. They can access the files directly from the Samba server without issue. The wrench in the works is that this network also has a Netware 4 file server and all the clients have both MS and Netware client software loaded. Now, a bit about my configuration: Samba 2.2.8. WINS support enabled. NOT PDC, just workgroup mode (cause the netware is their primary fileserver and only certain users need access the Samba box) TCP/IP is used for Samba fileserver, not IPX. Any thoughts? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At night I dream of a world where Windows doesn't suck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
