Anyhow, the problem is that when I copy to the share "movies" it will do about 1.2 to 1.4 gb and die-- my windows XP client (either one of them) reports "The specified network name is no longer available" and the only choice is to click OK.
If I use a drag'n'drop copy, I'm all done. If I use a slightly smarter tool, one that apparently retries, I click ok and the copy takes off again, apparently none the worse. If I give up the first time it fails, the files it did manage to copy were between 133,122kb and 344,332kb in size.
I was advised to try some smb.conf changes. In the global section, I added "client use spnego = no". In the section for the "movies" share, I added "use sendfile = no". Niether change seemed to make any difference.
I also added "write cache size = 262144" in that share. Also little help that I can tell-- maybe a little better.
I'm slightly confused that I get two log files for the same machine, both seemingly updated concurrently, one called samba-log.172.20.0.186 and one called samba-log.elrond
The one named for the machine name doesn't have any errors or warnings-- just file opens and closes. The one with the IP address has errors.This fragment is pretty representative:

I also have stuff in my messages log, specifically, I see this every 15 minutes:
Mar 9 16:21:08 tolkien nmbd[5713]: [2005/03/09 16:21:08, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(353)
Mar 9 16:21:08 tolkien nmbd[5713]: find_domain_master_name_query_fail:

Mar 9 16:21:08 tolkien nmbd[5713]: Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
Any clue what tuning I need to be doing here? I'm pretty new to Linux and Samba and need a clue.
TIA, Tom
