FW: [Samba] Roaming Profiles & oplocks problems

[Louis van Belle]

Rob,

When u use a TNT2-M64, why dont you use the Windows drivers for this
card, as i believe the TNT2 is good supported within windows xp.

You only should use the NVIDIA driver when your gaming... and you probely
dont do that with the TNT2-M64 card.

Also thank you for testing this.
i cant think of any which will resolve your problem besides above. 

Louis

Louis,


1) Installed NVIDIA 61.77 drivers (newest drivers with card support for
TNT2 M64)
2) Removed roaming profile from test client (test profile is 13Mb)
3) Logon to domain profile using test client
	- Hangs for about 5 mins
	- Samba logs show:
		- lib/util_sock.c:read_data(526)
		- Error = Operation timed out
	- Profile fails to appear
4) Logoff (happens immediately)
5) Installed UPHClean (and started service)
6) Removed roaming profile (previous logon created a 3Mb profile)
7) Logon - same as before
8) Logoff - same as before
9) Remove NVIDIA 61.77 drivers
10) All working again!
