Hi, I use samba for 5 years in a small enterprise network. We have recently changed our windows client and migrate from windows 95 to windows XP :-). Samba is running on a debian woody. Since we are using windows XP home edition I can see the following log messages : [2004/04/02 15:27:50, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(758) oplock_break: receive_smb error (Success) oplock_break failed for file POSITION CONTRATS GRANEA/Contrats et PAF.xls (dev = 303, inode = 426012, file_id = 166). [2004/04/02 15:27:50, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(843) oplock_break: client failure in break - shutting down this smbd. I don't know what an oplock is and I need your help to solve this problem. Thank you

But theres plenty of docu out there that explains what an oplock is. And there are even some bugfixes for Windows XP available at Microsoft (see the Knowledge Base). Ich was not able to solve my windows 2000/Samba 3 problems with oplocks from the archives or the MS KB but I came across many many posts which you should also read and try out. Especially since there are some fixes for Windows XP available (which were just not applicable for my situation but might be for yours then). Alex
