Hallo friend of Samba in addition to the problem of Doug Jolley I recognized, that samba is very, very, very slow if MS-Access tries to access another MS_Access Database on the Linux Box, powerd with Samba. Normally I have tranfers between 3.500 and 4.500 kbytes/sec (writing) and 2.500 to 3.500 kbytes/sec (reading)! THe Client is a Athlon K7/1000 with 256MB and a 3C905 NIC running Win2K. The Server is a AMD K6-2/500 with 128MB Ram and a Intel100/Pro, running SuSe Linux 7.0, Kernel 2.2.18, reiserfs and Samba 2.0.7 with Share-Security. Can anybody help me? Thank in advance for all Bernhard
