Hiya peeps,
I am succesfully using samba 2.07 (installed from tarball) on a redhat
7.0 server. I have domain logins and roaming profiles werking perfectly.
The only problem I have is when more than 5mb is moved at a time to a
samba share the network completely drops out. I then have to do
/etc/init.d/network restart to recover. I have the following hardware :
Pentium Pro 200, 128mb ram, 100mb rtl8139 network card, surecom ethernet
switch (unmanaged).
Software : RedHat 7.0 2.2.16-22 (standard)
Samba 2.07 compiled from source code
Windblows 98 on all clients
I hope I have given enuf info to help. If anything else is need then
email me a request.
Regards
Lunix

I then have to do >/etc/init.d/network restart to recover. I have the following hardware :I have the same problem using a SuSE 6.3 installation, typically when doing a batch transfer of 100MB+ of files while using Windows Explorer, and the network access on the Samba server dies completely. I was previously informed on this list that this wasn't a "samba problem" and more likely a kernel/network/something problem. The only work around that I found is to use a non-Microsoft file browser, such as 2xExplorer. Christopher Reimer
