similar to: Samba 3.0.4 Performance Problem (tcp win 1)

Here's what you asked for - along with some tcpdump data that shows what I'm thinking the problem is...If anyone knows what this is - I'd LOVE to hear it - I've seen lots of posts about this type of error from others, and none of those folks have posted their problem being fixed (they probably gave up on it like I did for awhile...) Log Entries ----------------------------

I trying to figure out why copying from a Samba drive to Windows XP is slower than an FTP transfer beween the same two machines. To copy the 110 MB file from Samba takes 400 seconds, and to transfer the same file by FTP takes 41 seconds. From using ethereal, and comparing a fast smb copy to a slow smb copy, I can see that the slow copy has a _lot_ more tcp traffic for a SMB single read

I'm running Samba on a Linux 7.2 recently upgraded to 8.0 system. I have a problem that occurred in 7.2 and also occurs in 8.0. My clients are Windows 98. If a client reboots then regularly it is not possible to access files on the Linux server without restarting smb on the server. On the Windows 98 clients, in network neighbourhood I get \\Robert is not accessible. No permission to access

Hey, I have slow access when I first open shares. If I reboot my XP box and then go to access a share, it takes a good 10 seconds for files to come up, even after I've typed in my username and password. Once accessed it runs fine and is fast. But, if I don't access it for 30 minutes, when I access it again it sits for like 10 good seconds before it does anything. This is very annoying.

Hello, Last week I have detected with Zabbix that a member of my Samba domain had been downloading at a rate of around 8 Mbps for two days and a half. When asking the person to whom belonged the machine, he didn't know he was downloading anything but he said he had observed his machine had slowed down since then. I took a tcpdump of the traffic before terminating his session on Windows

I am currently having problems accesing our samba msdfs shares from Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 and WinXP SP1 seem unaffected. I have attached the smb.conf and the exports files that define the shares. Running ethereal on the different clients seems to point to the fact that XP SP2 no longer seems to be using the netbios-ssn (139) port. for GET_DFS_REFERRAL instead its using microsoft-ds

Hello. My configuration is a RHS 7.1, samba 2.0.7, Win Me 4.90.3000.

Hi! After more work on the oplock_break problem, I've found the following in my tcpdump-smb logging. It seems that when ost5 (pid=26339 in the logs that follow) requests access to the oplocked file comm.inf from ost6 (pid=5872) the oplock_break failes (this is NOT isolated to any one or two systems on our network, just using these two as an example, and the server reports no dropped packets

Hi! Been having the same problem with oplocks for a while and have been trying to figure out what's going wrong. The FAQ says that we may have a networking (hardware?) problem, but according to the Linux box's ifconfig results, we have had no errors and no dropped packets on the internal network. I am able to reproduce the error pretty much at will on our network, and it is not isolated

Hi, I have samba running on a home LAN using a Linksys mixed wired (100 Mbit ethernet) & wireless access point, which also does NAT to a DSL modem. The server is connected to this access point via an ethernet cable. Clients can connect via wireless or wired network connection. I am using encrypted passwords, and have in smb.conf: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096

I have a samba machine used by some users but most users use the windows 2003 server. It all works fine except when one particular user connects to the samba machine the samba machine will then try to connect to 192.168.192.1. This drives our netowrk people crazy because we don't have any machines in the network that are 192.anything. We are using a fairly old version of samba - 2.2.3a. At

Debian Lenny Samba 3.2.3 LOOX N560 with Windows Mobile 5 Hello, ?my PDA LOOX N560 could connect via WLAN to SAMBA under Etch. Meanwhile I upgraded to Debian Lenny and now may PDA cannot connect anymore to the server. Error 1223 or 1222. Connecting to XP-Clients via WLAN is okay. Connecting to Samba Wireshark tells me: malformed packet: No. ? ? Time ? ? ? ?Source ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Hi, I have a problem with my printing setup of a windows XP client with a samba server. The windows driver seems to use different ways of smb/printer communication for printing in normal/duplex mode and for printing brochures. The latter failes silently. normal/duplex printing uses: SMB Open Print File Request brochure printing starts with: SPOOLSS OpenPrinterEx request I recorded the network

While trying to switch a domain from an WinNT 4.0 SP ? to an AIX 4.3 with samba 2.2.8 with OS2/warp 4 clients we receive some unexpected errors. - we can log on to the new domain , run logon scripts, map network drives , store and retrive files , print to a Remote server using the printers shared by samba. - we can't run VisualAge Generator (2.X) retriving files from the samba server.

I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only about a sixth as fast (transferring files to or from the Win2k box is about 6

Hello, I would like to ask you if its possible to run Samba on an other port than 137-139? I tried once to edit the "/etc/services" File. The lines: ... netbios-ns 137/tcp netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm 138/tcp netbios-dgm 138/udp netbios-ssn 139/tcp netbios-ssn 139/udp ... I changed it to: ... netbios-ns 6998/tcp netbios-ns 6998/udp netbios-dgm 6999/tcp netbios-dgm 6999/udp

Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me why this is happening: I override ssn method of AR class so I can encrypt/decrypt to/from the db: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base def ssn=(value) write_attribute(:borrower_ssn, Crypto.encrypt(self.encryption_key, value)) write_attribute(:borrower_ssn_final_four, value[5,4]) end def ssn # this begin - rescue can be

I run samba 2.2.8a on my openbsd 3.4 box, installed from a package. All i need is the ability to mount disks form winxp boxes so i only run smbd, at 139/tcp. I tried scanning the box with nessus, and it came up with some results that got me curious. Since i dont know very much about the smb protocol I thought i should ask here. Have searched the archives but found only old posts, concering

Hallo all, the tcpdump output tells me WARNING: Short packet. Try increasing the snap length (120) but I havn't got a clue how to manage this. The problem appears, when using the dave client on my mac PB G3 and I copy something onto the samba server.Other Win98 hosts do not have this problem. Facit, I can not upload but just download from the server. Can someone tell me how to read this? (DF)

Hi, Running samba 3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 on an Ubuntu 9.10 installation. I've previously been running ubuntu intrepid ibex (samba 3.2.3). Since the upgrade I've had issues with a device not finding any wokrgroups/domains when doing an nmb lookup. The device is a wireless music player that can make an SMB connection and has worked fine until the upgrade. When sniffing the network, I get a log
