[Samba] Samba and XP - potential newbie questions

[Damian Gerow]

We run Samba on our internal LAN (about 20 workstations, mostly XP), and
until last night, we were using 2.2.6.  I've since updated to 3.0b1, hoping
to fix some *very* strange XP weirdness we're seeing.

The one XP Home client works just fine.  But of the rest (all XP Pro), we
get some erratic behaviour -- some people can't print, some people take ages
to mount drives, and some people can mount a drive, but only *sometimes*
look at the files within the share.

Before launching into individual details, are there any documents detailing
interoperability with 3.0 and XP?  We don't currently run a domain, but will
be setting one up (for only a third of the XP Pro workstations, however)
within the next couple of months.

Any pointers to anything XP related would be a godsend.
