[Samba] smbclient timeout
Hi fellow samba users, I'm having a problem with smbclient on Red Hat 7.2 transferring files from a Win2k box. I am able to connect to the Win2k, login, list, traverse directories, and even copy several files. However, shortly after I start to transfer lots of files, smbclient just hangs. It will sit there forever doing absolutely nothing. Both the Red Hat box and the Win2k box are still useable. In fact, I can even start a second smbclient connection from the Red Hat machine. The original smbclient, however, is running, but doing absolutely nothing. Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is backup some shares on the Win2k box using Amanda. However, I can't get smbtar, smbclient -T, or smbclient + recurse + mget * to work. I'm able to smbclient to other machines (Win2k and NT4) with no problem. Also, I'm able to use Windows clients to transfer data to/from the troubling Win2k machine. Any ideas? I'm using Red Hat 7.2 and samba 2.2.4. If it's worth anything, the NIC on the troubling Win2k box is a SMC EZ Card 10/100 1211TX. Thanks for any help. Eric Patterson
