Hello, I have this setup with 4 windows xp-pro machines in a 100 Mb net connecting to a samba 2.2.3a service on a redhat 7.2 machine. Samba is running as PDC. Everything works fine (logon, printing, files etc) except that every now and then things are very slow. Sometimes it take around half aminute to logon but other times it takes just a couple of seconds. Sometime you see this on logout. Sometimes you see this when printing or opening a folder on a network drive. It looks like every now and then just one operation takes a long time, while following operations are very very fast again.
I checked the archives and saw other messageas about slow connections, but these seem to slow all the time. I suspected a namingservice problem, but ip connections like telnet, ftp and ssh (and DNS) work just fine all the time. Also tried with and without wins support but that does not make difference. Below follows the smb.conf file.
