samba - Nov 2002 - Fw: Samba and Windows XP, 30 second lockup

Hi again,

I posted this message some time ago in the list, however nobody replied yet.
I find this kinda weird because the problem happens with both my XP
computers, so I am pretty sure there must be at least a couple of guys out
there with the same problem... Basically the problem is that when using
Samba shares from XP from time to time I experience a ~30 second lockup of
the shares. This doesn't happen in other windows versions. Anyone is having
the same issue and/or knows how to solve it?

Thanks,

Boogerman

Previous suggestions floating around the list had to do with disabling 
webdav on XP.  Please search the archives for more details.

Are you sharing printers from Samba ? On print open, XP makes a
request to monitor a printer for change notify which causes
Samba to do a reverse connection back to the client, currently
with 30 second timeout (which makes me suspicious). Do you have
firewall settings on the XP boxes that would prevent reverse
connections to ports 445 or 139 ?

Jeremy.

I once experienced a ~30 second delay in retrieving files from a win2k host
 and a win98 client...
I just immediately disliked windows2k and used linux/samba as a fileserver...
I would assume that it is a windows problem (of cource! ;) )... Try the service
packs, export a samba share and use that...
Just my 2 cents...

I have got a problem with a windows 2000 client to a samba server.

When i look on the files on linux, I see a access time and a different
modification time, if I look on the same file fra the windows client on the
samba server, the access time and modification time are identical, but if I
look on a file on a windows 2000 server, there is difference between the two
times: How can I get the windows 2000 client to get the rigt access time
from the samba server??

And I how another problem with connecting to a samba printer, when I use net
use lpt1 \\server\printer i only get an error, is there some special with
suse linux on that point?

Thanks if somebody are able to help me.

Tage Danielsen

What I actually meant was any firewall, including XP's. Anyway, a solution
has ben proposed in this mailing list wich consisted in disabling webDAV.
I've done so but I won't be able to confirm that it works until some
time
has elapsed, since it is a random issue...
