Hello all, reposting. Linux 2.2.5, Samba 2.0.6, and a 56k bridged link via Multitech RouteFinders. Clients (W98, DOS) on the opposite side of the WAN link cannot access files on shares on the Samba server. They can browse, get a domain logon, map drives, but when trying to drag a file in Explorer or copy at the command line, it hangs the system, and eventually bluescreens it. Errors like: timeout waiting for client and failed oplock break are common. Is there something inherent in the lag of the 56k link? I know Samba works over a dialup, but I'm starting to grasp at straws here....
