Hi folks, I recently upgraded two client/server pairs to WinXP and Samba 2.2.6 (on Linux). Browsing mounted shares causes hangs when right-clicking or double-clicking/ launching files -- about 15 seconds. During this, precious little network activity is occuring. Something is hanging, locking, sleeping. Appreciate any advice. Hope it's a simple fix. If not, I'd appreciate advice on where in the code I might start instrumenting/debugging. thanks, -jeremy _____________________________________________________________________ jeremy wohl ..: http://igmus.org

This causes timeout problems when right clicking in explorer. There are workarounds to relieve this problem which I can explain if this is the case.

Jeremy, Just finished an install at a customer's site with XP clients and 2.2.6 PDC. One client was really troublesome and kept freezing, especially when we went anywhere near the network printer - perhaps two mins of dead time then. After much knashing of teeth, eventually realised from the logs that Samba was tryng to talk back ot the client spooler. Then noticed a tiny little padlock on the network interface on the client and sure enough the XP firewall had been enabled before our arrival on site. Killed the firewall off and it fell into line.
