[Samba] Fileaccess-Problem Samba <--> Win2k

[Heiko Schellhorn]

Hi all

We installed Samba 2.2.3a to host files for the computers of our 
secretary-office. Our secretaries are using Win2k computers, mostly Excel.

Win2k - German - SP3
Excel2k Pro - German - SP3

We have the following problem:

If they try to open files using Workplace-Directory-Folders they get following 
error: Once in a while Excel hangs after opening three or four files. 

If they try to open the files within Excel the error doesn't occur.

Has anyone seen this problem before ?  
Is it a error in our configuration or is it a problem between this Samba-Ver. 
and Win2k?
