Hi, I took the plunge and installed the latest version of OpenBSD 3.6 and SAMBA 3.0.11 (this because I found a patch for the OBSD ports tree). So I now have all that up and running. Both my XP box and my Audiotron can get to the SAMBA shares. I did this upgrade because the problem I'm about to describe is exactly the same as before I upgraded from 3.4 OBSD, 2.x Samba. I know others are using the Auditron with Samba successfully...so it must be something I've got set wrong somewhere. Next I put some wav files on the share. If I play one using Windows media player on the XP box all is good, no skipping, etc. If I tell the Audiotron to play the file (media player is shut down on the xp box) it buffers forever and then plays the song a few bytes at a time. If I use tcpdump to look at the traffic between the audiotron and the samba machine during the buffering the largest data packet that gets sent is 1400 bytes with the typical being 800 or 600. With xp/media player the data packets are large at first and then drop to smaller packets for the duration of the song. Does anybody have any idea what's going on. Any help greatly appreciated!
