clueless - i just recall, a month ago, that we were having severe crash
problems with vc5.0++. so, when a patch was available, we downloaded
it. the size of this patch is, apparently, about 200mb :-)
utter stupidity. never mind. but it eliminates some sillies from the ms
side.

sounds like we're doing something (or you've got a parameter set) that is
upsetting w95 (oh what a surprise). tried that "max mux = 50" instead of
the 500 you have right now?

well, if you have time, run off samba-1.9.16p9 and put the debug log
levels as high as you can stand, and then switch to samba-1.9.17alpha5.
see whether there are any significant differences in the log.smb files.

ah. net time /set /yes. right.
i never use net time /set /yes - i always do net time \\sambaserver.
we've added (at microsoft's request) a new "time server =" parameter to
samba-1.9.17. this defaults to NO. try setting it to yes, and then let
us know if net time /set /yes works.
"time server = no" stops samba announcing itself as a time server.
apparently, not even NT server announces itself (by default) as a time
server: it's a configuration option that you have to enable. and when
microsoft pointed this out, we added it in.
