I'm also experiencing this problem. I'm running Samba version 2.2.7 with the "security rollup fix" (redhat 8 update) on kernel 2.4.20. The load average on this machine is nil. These machines are all running over 100 mb (5 computers on a linksys switch). I've disabled roaming profiles on WinXP in an attempt to correct the problem but it didn't seem to help. Based on the "network performance" monitor in XP, no data is being exchanged during the lag periods. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Miles -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Ok everybody, now repeart after me: "I will install WINS!" Repeat until you are overcome by the urge to do it. When it is done, all pain will go away. Then repeat after me again: "Ah, nice!" Repeat often to make sure we do not forget past pain! Information about WINS may be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf that may be obtained from: http://us1.samba.org/samba/devel/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf Please refer to chapter 10. The bottom line is that if NetBIOS names can not be resolved to IP addresses correctly you will see long delays as reported here. Note: If you are not running NetBIOS over TCP/IP (ie: Win 2Kx/XP and samba-3 all with NetBIOS disabled), then you really need DNS with the MS CIFS extensions installed. See HOWTO page 90, Section 10.3.3. PS: Chapter 10 applies equally to Samba-2.x as it does to Samba-3. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht.DeleteThis@samba.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Would it be possible to put code in say, smbclient or nmbd that would do something like this: %smbclient -L //nosuchwinsname .......(5 seconds)...... No quick response; there are NO WINS servers on this subnet, see wins.txt <continue> Perhaps make it a nmblookup option... maybe I'll hack something together this weekend. - -Tom Dickson John H Terpstra wrote: \| On Mon, 15 Sep 2003, Miles Bintz wrote: \| \| \|>I'm also experiencing this problem. \|> \|>I'm running Samba version 2.2.7 with the "security rollup fix" (redhat 8 \|>update) on kernel 2.4.20.

Miles, Poor show on my part to reply twice, but I should also have reminded you to turn off the WebClient. That also can destroy network browsing. - John T.
