Folks, Haven't been able to find any information on either issue. 1) We have Windows clients (primarily NT4sp6a and WinXP sp1) connecting to Samba servers, and it works fine but the connections are slow. They take 5-10 seconds whereas connections to native Windows servers are nearly instant. 2) The WinXP machines seem to disconnect the SMB session to the Samba servers ASAP rather than waiting the 15 minute period. Combined with the above problem, this is killing performance for several applications we have in house. Any ideas what could be causing either problem? We are running Samba 2.2.4 on Solaris 2.8. Thanks in advance. =-Dave-Feldman->

Mark, Thanks but that didn't help. My Samba servers are not configured either as DCs nor are they have they been configured as memebers of the domain. I have a feeling that this may explain why it takes so long for WinXP to connect to the Samba servers, but not why the WinXP clients disconnects from the share ASAP. =-Dave-F-> -----Original Message----- From: Mark [mailto:lists@greplinux.dyndns.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 4:08 PM To: 'David Feldman'; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: [Samba] WinXP clients connect slowly to Samba For the WinXP problems, take a look here, specifically the 2nd to last FAQ http://samba.netfirms.com/faq.htm Regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+lists=greplinux.dyndns.org@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+lists=greplinux.dyndns.org@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of David Feldman Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 12:28 PM To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: [Samba] WinXP clients connect slowly to Samba Folks, Haven't been able to find any information on either issue. 1) We have Windows clients (primarily NT4sp6a and WinXP sp1) connecting to Samba servers, and it works fine but the connections are slow.
