Greetings Fellow Sambaiites! I have a small problem that I haven't seen addressed in any of the forums (have searched the net to no avail!). I have a small 100 mbit network................using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Slack box as the PDC. When I initially look in the NN on any Win95,98 and NT boxes, the Samba box appears...................when I try to browse the Samba shares on the Samba box, there is a delay of approx 2 minutes before I am able to see the shares. Once the shares become visible, I can browse the shares and perform file operations through the share at lightning speed. The Question? What might I have set wrong that would cause the initial connect to be so slow? I am using unencrypted pw auth on all boxens..............have applied the registry hacks necessary to ensure no encryption. ************************************************************ mailto:steve@out-of-control.com out-of-control Webworks Inc.

The error was that my samba box had the same name as the workgroup it was in..... Hope this helps, Florian Pflug
