Hi, perhaps this Problem is relate to
The Windows XP WebClient
A number of sites have reported similar slow network browsing problems
and found that when the WebClient service is turned off, the problem
dissapears. This is certainly something that should be explored as it is
a simple solution if it works.
maybe win tries to produce sights of the files , but with the high
number it crashes....but this is just an idea
or did you simply have created so called dot files and entered a
parameter in the smb.conf not to show them ( happend to me last week
*grins )
Regards
