[Samba] XP clients & inexplicable pauses

[Noel Kelly]

Jeremy,

Just finished an install at a customer's site with XP clients and 2.2.6 PDC.
One client was really troublesome and kept freezing, especially when we went
anywhere near the network printer - perhaps two mins of dead time then.

After much knashing of teeth, eventually realised from the logs that Samba
was tryng to talk back ot the client spooler.  Then noticed a tiny little
padlock on the network interface on the client and sure enough the XP
firewall had been enabled before our arrival on site.  Killed the firewall
off and it fell into line.

HTH

Noel

Hi folks,

I recently upgraded two client/server pairs to WinXP and Samba 2.2.6
(on Linux).

Browsing mounted shares causes hangs when right-clicking or double-clicking/
launching files -- about 15 seconds.  During this, precious little network
activity is occuring.  Something is hanging, locking, sleeping.

Appreciate any advice.  Hope it's a simple fix.  If not, I'd appreciate
advice on where in the code I might start instrumenting/debugging.

thanks,
-jeremy
