hello, I've got a very strange problem....

I use samba version 3.0.20pre1-0.1-Suse /SuSE 9.3. I connect the samba network share with the usual "net use" command. The problem is when I firstly try to connect to the network drive it takes a long time to make the connect (about 10 seconds). If I am finally connected it works fine and the speed is also fine too. I've checked the DNS first and put the Computer names in etc/hosts on server and client side. But that doesn't work for me.

It looks like that isn't only a problem with samba 3.0.20 on older samba versions still the same.

Any Ideas?

Thx a LOT!

Kind regards.!

If tried this, but it doesn't work: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 IPTOS_LOWDELAY

My smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = CAD
netbios name = CAD
map to guest = Bad User
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
domain master = No
valid users = admin, ald, cad
write list = admin, ald, cad
hosts allow = 192.1.
security = user
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
debug level = 3

[cad]
comment = CAD Daten-Bearbeitung
path = /Daten/CAD
read only = No
force create mode = 0774
force directory mode = 02777

[org]
comment = Schreibschutz CAD Ablage
path = /Daten/ORG
read only = No
force create mode = 0774
force directory mode = 02777
 
Hmm... have you tried connecting from another Linux box? If so, do you ecperience the same delay? Could be WINS related on the Windows box.
 
Yes, I have a second linux machine, but I don't know how I connect to the samba server. How can I check for Wins trouble?
