[Samba] samba + apache + XP ... weird

[joao marka]

I´m having samo strange behaviour from my XP machines.

Sometimes (most always) my XP machines logged onte the sambe (as PDC on the 
corporate network, 40 clients +-) are serching for the samba shares into 
the apache server, causing some performance issues in browsing the shares, 
sometimes even hanging the client´s explorer.

the apache log says :

10.11.16.15 - - [27/Jan/2003:06:57:45 -0200] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-"

where 10.11.16.11 / 15 are the clients IP and after "PROPFIND /" are the 
samba share´s name which the client are serarching into the apache server.

the microsoft site says absolutly nothing worthy about this (or i haven´t 
found...) but it seems to be an office 2k issue.

does anyone knows anything about this ?
