Hey folks,
I was having a problem at work with Samba 2.2.3a (SuSE 8.0) as well as a Redhat
machine I know nothing about and an HP Workstation station I know nothing about.
Each had painfully slow writes from dos clients (for using Norton Ghost). I
tried many machines, many nics, and even played with different hubs. All caused
problems. I even tried VM-Ware to VM-Ware.
I have Samba 2.2.4 at home and it is am smooth as silk, so I may not need help,
BUT!!!
I went through the process of repackaging our handy-dandy multi boot floppy for
the purpose of getting help, and while I may not need the help any more, you
folks may find it useful.

This is a winimage IMA file with the FLP extension for VMWare.
It has these dos nic drivers
1. Intel 10/100mbit
2. Intel PCMCIA 10/100
3. 3COM Etherlink III 509 10mbit
4. 3COM Etherlink III 509TP 10mbit (rare)
5. 3COM 905 10/100mbit
6. 3COM 589 PCMCIA 10mbit
7. 3COM 575 PCMCIA 10/100mbit
8. AMD PCI Nic (VMWARE)
It is broken, in some respects, because I had to take out any biz related info.
Also, for the sake of testing at home, I have disabled DHCP in the protocol.ini
(which is located in a:\zip.zip as "protocol.bs1") but if you change
the line
DisableDHCP=1
to
DisableDHCP=0
DHCP will work again.
It also auto logs in with username "blank" password "blank"
You can change this at the bottom of frogo.bat
I will be deleting this file tomarrow because I am on 256k DSL and I don't
want to be /.'d
Get it while it is hot!
