Lorne You got me?? Beyond some tangential knowledge of the past packet fragmentation issue and the CIFS protocol, I don't have any rabbits to pull out of my hat. As far as smb is concerned it seems M$'s implementation of smb(CIFS) is new and unique to XP/2000. I suspect in implementing CIFS for XP, M$ has only loosely followed the RFC and has done so by design. The site I posted earlier but can't find now, the "ubhix...." something like that suggests that the CIFS variety of smb has done just that.
I don't have a test machine to confirm what you are seeing, but it sounds identical to the samba 2.07 problem that gave win98 fits. Another site that looks promising is http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-optimize.html See 7.2 Socket Options. You may be able to either rule in or rule out the fragmentation issue by follow the test specified. Good luck. -- David C.
