I've been struggling with this for a while, and though it worked for
about five minutes Sunday night, it's been a no-go ever since I built my
server last summer. What I've got:
Samba (samba): OpenBSD 4.2-STABLE, samba-3.0.25b (from packages)
Laptop (osiris): WinXP SP2
Desktop (isis): WinXP x64 SP2
I can copy/move anything and everything between samba and laptop. I can
copy/move anything between laptop and desktop. I can *usually* copy
small (less than 100M or so) between samba and desktop, and large files
FROM samba TO desktop as well. However, when I try to copy large files
FROM desktop TO samba, desktop freezes. There are no log messages being
generated on the oBSD side (simultaneous tails on /var/log/daemon,
messages, smbd.isis, smbd.smbd, and smbd.nmbd all remain silent). The
Windows event viewer likewise does not contain any obvious errors upon
reboot. Also of note, if I use laptop to move directly between desktop
and samba, it always works (though more slowly, since it's only 100Mbit
instead of 1Gbit ethernet, and is essentially performing every operation
twice).

Any ideas and/or suggestions on where to look for my problem, or what
knob I may have improperly turned (or need to turn) to get things
running well?
