Hi, I got a samba 3.0.2-6.3E server running on Redhat Enterprise 3. The authentication is done by winbind to a NT 4.0 domain controller. This is working perfectly. However sometimes WinXP clients are having problems connecting to shares, this creates a 20 second delay before the share is accessible. After this 'initial' connect the share and other shares respond within 2 seconds again. Currently it looks like it's only WinXP and it happens random. The other problem is similar and happens with MS Office, version and windows OS do not appear to matter. It creates a same kind of delay when opening word documents. This also happens when trying to save existing files. Did anybody experience these delays issues as well with XP and office? I can't find anything wrong with the server and its pretty fast in the development stage. Kind Regards, Ton Hoogstraten
