[Samba] Re: Samba conect/disconect/reconect when browsing or when freeze open/save dialogs

[hamacker]

My smb.conf does not have this line :
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

So, "SO_KEEPALIVE" sounds good for my problem. Is it corrent add this line ?
About socket options , I found this comment on google search :
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2007-February/129652.html
"Remove it completely. Sockey options should not be needed with Linux kernels
2.4 or layter.  Check out your networking hardware - NICs, HUBs, Switches and
cables - the quality of these have a significant impact on network
performance."

To resolv my problem, I really need socket options or not ?

thanks a lot.
