Hello Everyone: I have set samba up on a linux box attached to a LAN with win9x machines attached to it. The machines can see the shared directories and private directories with no problem. The problem shows up when a person wishes to copy a number of files over to the publicly available directory. If one or two files is copied at a time it takes quite a while to complete the process. If they are copying a lot of files, a few will get copied and then an error will show up stating that the netlogin server cannot be found. If a file does get copied over, accessing that file in a word processor or other program is very difficult and can have very long delays in the files access. I have level2 oplocking turned on and I've read through the speed.txt file but I am quite baffled by why it isn't working correctly. Oh yeah, deleting files doesn't work well either. I must have something set big time wrong but it appears all correct. Testparm doesn't seem to have any problems with the settings. If I test things with smbclient on the server machine everything seems to work fine. Kirk
