John, Jerry, Chris and, yes you too Bartlett (mate):
Have you thought any more about this problem?? It has been posted under: Samba errors with smb QUERY_PATH_INFO,Error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
3.0.7 - NT Create AndX Response, Error:, QUERY_PATH_INFO,Error:
Extremely slow during browsing some directories
Basically Linwei and myself are having 30 second delays descending directory trees within the file-open dialogs from MS applications. (Yes I know, it's an MS thing, but I thought you guys would want to know) The problem does NOT affect windows explorer, only the MS Office application's file-open function. I've posted the ethereal dump of the communications, but, interpreting what it is telling me is beyond this idiot engineer/lawyer. Anyway, what happens is that if you open say: MS Word, and go to open a file -- and click on the directory list box, the process freezes for 18-30 seconds. That generates the AndX response error, QUERY_PATH_INFO error, etc...
Yes, it is MS related, BUT, it only happens on trying to access files on a samba share. No doubt, MS has thrown a wrench into the equation, but we need to understand it and find out how to fix in on our side. The problem is "I AINT smart enough to do it on my own." Damn, it hurts to admit it, but it's so.
My proposal is for you guys to "Tell me what you want me to capture/send/whatever and I'll do it" I'm too old to try and learn this trick. (You know "Play golf -- and your tennis game suffers" so "pick your sport")
That's it. Enough philosophy. I think we have a real problem to work. I am more than willing to do what I can, but at this level, I am drawing from a "shallow pool" of knowledge.
Your thoughts?

Hello,
I've read the relative thread on "STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND", and I think that's part of my issue:
1. When I map the shared folder as a disk to my windowsXP and Windows2K machine, then every step exploring the mapped disk or directories under this disk, takes more than 30sec to response from the samba server. I use ethereal to trace the network, and found that there are a lot of "SMB Trans2 request, QUERY_PATH_INFO" and "SMB Trans2 response QUERY_PATH_INFO" roundtrip while my windows machine waiting.
2. When I don't map the shared folder to my windows machines, things are better -- the slowness doesn't happen frequently, but it does happend randomly. When it happens, I got "STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND" error reported.
I just updated my Samba to "3.0.12pre-1" from "3.0.10.fc3", but it seems all my issues remain as before. Does this issue introduced in certain Samba version? Does anybody suffer the same problem as mine now or before?
Regards, linwei

I disabled the web client service on my computer, but it does no good. ( There are also other sharing folders from windows machinces on my network, but I didn't suffer the same problem from those windows sharings...). And I also tried to work on the samba server machine locally using smbclient, and it seems no this kind of issue....

hi,
I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3). I use the SHARE security level to make things easier. Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the folders/files list. This seems weird because it happened radomly: sometimes for the same user, same machine and browse same directory, it works quickly, but sometimes it take about a minute to get the response from server. What's the possibilities for this issue? Deperately need help.
Try turning off the "webclient" service on the windows client machines.
