samba - Nov 2003 - NT4 PDC and Samba 3 issues...

I upgraded an old Samba 2.x install on Debian that I had at a customer 
location.  Authentication to the PDC was via winbind.  Everything worked 
fine in the past except the RAID died so I rebuilt the RAID, copied over 
the old volume, and ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.  Now I have 
some really weird Samba problems:

I can connect to my share on Samba.
I can create a dir, a file, and insert text into a file.

I can copy a small directory with a few small text files in it from the 
PDC to the Samba share.

When I try to copy almost everything else from anywhere on the LAN to 
the Samba share it freezes up and the connection eventually times out.

I spent the better part of 5 hours banging my head against the wall.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I'm thinking of just 
downgrading everything since I still have the original file system image 
that used to work but I'd rather not.

Thanks!

Did you spend any of that time reading the logs, or taking a network
trace?  That will certainly get you a long way, and help the list in
solving your problem...

That sounds to me there will be a Problem with Full/Halfduplex-Setting
of your NIC or Switch.

Can you verify that ?
