I have samba server installed in solaris 8. Till last week the filesharing from unix onto NT and 2000 systems wasfine. Now we are able to go to unix folders and subfolders on NT and when we try to open MSword files and MSxls files the NT and 2000 systems hangs and we need to restart the system. We have checked the NFS sharing and automount works properly. Only when we try to access the word documents and word xls files this happens Please let me know if it is a samba issue. If so is there any resolution or any configuration option to be used? Arun
