Hi.
I posted last week a question about a network with some XP PCs.
One PC connects fine to the samba server, but the other one
is quite slow, almost unusable. There are also Win98 hosts
running fine.
Someone kindly answered he had the same problem, and solved it
upgrading to samba-3 beta. I can't put beta software on this
server.
Do I have any other option ?
Here is an extract of the smb.conf file:
[global]
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
dns proxy = no
All the other is set by default.
Thank you for your time.

I don't think so, this same PC works fine with other network servers W2k.> > On Tue, 2003-07-22 at 20:09, Francesc Guasch wrote: > >>Hi. >> >>I posted last week a question about a network with some XP PCs. >>One PC connects fine to the samba server, but the other one >>is quite slow, almost unusable.
