Hi,
I have a Samba 3.0.9 server on Linux 2.6.9 (Fedora Core 3) that serves WinMe
and WinXP SP2 clients wonderfully. I have recently bought a new laptop however
that is not playing nicely. Samba for this laptop is responding *very* slowly
when browsing or reading files on either the 'samba' or
'jimhome' shares. The
new laptop has Win XP SP2 pre-installed. I have its Windows firewall
completely turned off and for the moment, the virus scanner too.
The funny thing is that my other laptop is also WinXP SP2 (upgraded from stock
XP via Windows Update) and doesn't have any performance issues with it.
I'm
stumped. Any tips greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jim
