...each syncing a single folder from the share \\pdc\software. The client is 'dblack-pc'. The dumps were taken in exactly the same way, differing only in which SP is installed. I can uninstall XP SP2 and things go back to normal. The Windows firewall is disabled in both cases. http://jamsoft.com/~dave/samba/sync-sp1.txt http://jamsoft.com/~dave/samba/sync-sp2.txt Of note are many MAILSLOT operations on the sp2 dump, but none on the sp1 dump. In both cases I just started the dump on the server, then on the client clicked synchronize on the offline folder. Also, to explain - 192.16...

How can I effectively and completely hide private interfaces on my Linux Samba servers? (PDC and file server) Even when I use the "interfaces" option and even "bind interfaces only", "net lookup dc" still returns IP addresses from the private interfaces, and for that matter another machine that is not even running Samba (once was, no longer). Seems like the

I've just about given up on trying to get WinXP SP2, Cisco VPN Client 4.6.x, Samba 3.0.x PDC and NetBT working properly - without long login and offline file sync delays. The VPN client is most of the problem when SP2 is installed, but all is fine with SP1. Being we have nothing but WinXP clients on the network, I'd like to explore disabling NetBT altogether, since the slowness

I posted a while back (twice, actually), about some long delays with offline files sync and, to a lesser extent, domain logins with Windows XP SP2. This is Samba 3.0.7 (ldapsam backend) on Mandrakelinux 9.2 and 10.0, with XP SP1 clients. I make use of WINS and everything works fine for SP1 clients. Here's what I found since then: after the client is joined to the Samba (NT) domain,

I'm scratching my head at the following issue that surfaced with Windows XP Prof. + SP2. First, a summary of my configuration: . Running Samba 3.0.7 in a LDAP-based PDC configuration, and with separate machine as member server for home directories. . The OS for PDC is Mandrake 9.2, the file server (FILES) is Mandrake 10.0. . 1000BaseT Ethernet. With XP SP1 and Samba 3.0.7 or prior,

My clients are Windows XP SP1 and SP2, members of a Samba-PDC NT domain (tested 3.0.7 and 3.0.10, same result). Attached is ethereal output of a two packet client-server exchange that takes place when an offline files sync is done. SP1 quickly does this exchange twice - first broadcast, then unicast (as attached) and goes on its way. SP2 tries, pauses many seconds, tries again, finally
