Hi, I am trying to optimize my gigabit network. I have two Intel 1000 MT Gigabit Server Adapters, which support Jumbo Frames -- as well as a Switch that supports Jumbo Frames. However, I am observing some strange behavior in my file transfers from Windows XP to Linux and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the way the Samba variables are set on my Linux box? The "strange

Hi Jean-Marc, Thanks for your response. Given a worst case scenario, what is the "worst case" latency (in terms of Speex frames) that the jitter buffer algorithm will incur? We're trying to determine the worst case hard number. Sorry for unclear question below; what I was trying to ask is that given a worst case latency (which I'm asking in the first question) inherent in

Hi, Our project is using the jitter buffer feature built in Speex. We noticed there are some latency when using the jitter buffer. Does anyone know what is the "worst case" latency inherent in the jitter buffer algorithm? I believe someone already mentioned that it's adaptive but is there a worst case hard number (in terms of 20ms Speex frames)? I'm not familiar with the

Hi, I'm trying to use the jitter buffer feature that comes with Speex but I'm getting unexpected latency. I wrote a client application that does VOIP-like functions and without using jitter buffer, the end-to-end latency is around 250 ms (I'm using lowband 5.97 kpbs). However, when I tried to incorporate the jitter buffer feature, the latency would grow as time elapsed (up to a few

In the real world (or at least in my world) we use undersubscribed internet connections that come with a service level agreement (SLA) that guarantees that the jitter, delay, and packet loss with be within defined parameters in the service agreement. With most DSL and Cable you will not get a SLA, with the cheapest T1s you might get one, but the only penalty to the ISP if they do not meet is a

That "program" will be detected by your ISP within a day or so, determined to be a virus, and your service will get disconnected...which n turn will not help your latency or jitter at all. VoIP can tolerate a fair amount of latency; latency over about 100ms is heard as a perceptible delay resulting in a connection that appears to be half duplex. Jitter, on the other had, is the real

We're investigating audio quality issues in our system; maybe someone can help. We're using Asterisk as a basic PBX, with a single PRI on one side and SIP phones on the other: Sipura SPA-841's. We're experiencing several audio effects which seem to commonly correspond to network failures (packet loss, high jitter, etc manifested as "robot voice", dropouts, periodic

Do anyone have any experience using 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections with Samba? Specifically, if you have had such an experience, can you share what sorts of optimizations you made to get the maximum data transfer between server and workstation? I am just experimenting with this kind of setup myself and I see a huge GULF between the raw TCP/IP transfers that I can make between two

I recently upgraded from Samba 3.0.2a to Samba 3.0.11. I didn't change anything in my smb.conf file. But Now, when a user logs on to my Linux server and access a Samba share, in the log file for that machine there is always a message repeated twice: [2005/03/16 05:40:23, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused As

I have spent most of the past 24 hours reading various samba docs and searching google for help -- but can't find a solution. Suggestions and solutions would be appreciated. I have set up a Linux Box (Samba 3.02) as a PDC with roaming profiles. (I haven't upgraded, because this box is a model for over 100 other boxes in the field). I can add XP users to the domain and their roaming

Can anybody explain why SOME Windows XP applications have trouble writing files larger than 2 GB (or sometimes larger than 4 GB) to Linux Samba shares, when OTHER Windows applications on the same machine do not have difficulty writing large files to the same Samba share? And when the underlying Linux filesystem supports very large files? I have sometimes even found that a SINGLE Windows

Hi, Is there a simple way to set up Samba so that users ONLY see the shares that belong to them? I'm not talking about the user's HOME directory. But lets say I have 60 shares in my smb.conf file. To make it less confusing for users when they access the Samba server from Windows, I want the users to ONLY see the shares that belong to them. So, I want to set up each share so that

Can somebody tell me how to get samba to ask me for a username and password when I click on my Samba server in Windows XP Explorer? When I click on another computer on the network (Workstation A) from a workstation (Workstation B) where I'm NOT logged in with a username:password that Workstation A recognizes as having an account, I get a dialog box asking me for a username and password.

I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I

Hi all: I recently upgraded form win98->winxp pro for my desktop box, which accesses two samba filesystems for various tasks. When I upgraded to winxp, I noticed that there is this persistent 'lag' when trying to access either one of the mapped network drives, where on win98, that was never a problem. I'm using a workgroup instead of a domain ( don't know how to setup windows

Hi, Does anybody know why Windows clients can see shares that are defined by the "include=/etc/samba/smb.%U.conf" option in but Mac OS X and Linux Samba clients cannot see those shares? In other words, I have a bunch of users. Each user has a set of his/her own unique shares on my Linux server that are defined in files called: /etc/samba/smb.User1.conf /etc/samba/smb.User2.conf

Hi, I have a weird problem with a Linux Server acting as a PDC with Samba 3.02. If I map a particular Samba share as the "Z" drive -- and I use roaming profiles with a logon.bat script -- the share will NEVER automatically reconnect when logging on again. This happens 100 percent of the time. And now the same thing seems to be happening for any shared mapped as the

Does somebody know if the Samba Client in MAC OS X (10.3.4 and 10.3.5) has problems looking at Linux-based Samba shares that are larger than 2 TB? I have Samba 3.0.2 running on my Linux box. I have never had any difficulty with the Mac seeing a 2 TB RAID array on the Linux box, but when the Mac looks at the 4 TB array, it can see all the contents and create folders but it can't create

Hi, I'm setting up a Linux machine to use as a file server for a small group of windows machines. Like many of the folks who write to this list, I'm having all kinds of difficults getting the Windows machines to be able to access the Linux shares. In my case, the most frustrating thing is that all of my Windows machines and users can access the Linux shares SOMETIMES. But
