Hi! I use a Cyrix 200 MX CPU and a Motherboard with VIA Chipset. I have two Networkinterfaces, a Realtek and a NE2000 Clone. I donwloaded the iso's from redhat(7.3) and installed the packages inclusive samba. i turned NAT on and the box works fine until I access the SAMBA directories(FAT 32) with a win2k client. If I just use samba a little bit ..(directory browsing).. nothing happens. If I copy a big folder or change the directory quite fast several times, the machine crashs. NAT is the only thing which is still working. You can't login directly or over port 22. You also can't shut it down. The logs say nothing. I sniffed a session to look at the traffic but there is nothing to see. The funny thing is that I just have this problem with the fat32 shares. the ext3 shares work fine. Is it possible that the implementation for the FAT32 shares is buggy? I dont know how to handle the problem. Any ideas? thx in advance flo --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
