I wish it actually did work. I'm running Mandrake 9.0 with Samba 2.2.6. The
Mandrake box has 3 NICs in it: eth0 (internet), eth1 (wired intranet), and
wlan0 (wireless intranet). Basically Samba works okay on the wired intranet,
but on the wireless net it is up and down all day long...unreliable in the
extreme.

I've asked about this a number of times and posted my smb.conf with no
responses. I do not know if the problem is specifically Samba, but because I
have no other problems with the wireless net I can only assume the problem
is either Samba or my smb.conf. I did have an MDK72 system with a Webgear
Aviator 2.4 and an older version of Samba working successfully so I am at
least somewhat familiar with the overall process. If someone could spot the
error in my smb.conf file I would very much appreciate it.
