Please say just what registry changes you made. I'm following through the link above and it talks about Win > Samba and Samba > Win lines and to choose the smaller of the two. My Samba line is *much* smaller than my Win line. 14:04:33.766520 IP Win.4926 > Samba.microsoft-ds: P 631:719(88) ack 538 win 32931 14:04:33.766635 IP Samba.microsoft-ds > Win.4926: P 538:642(104) ack 719 win 686 Looks like my Samba is 686 and my Win is 32931. That seems really lopsided. I expected the Samba side to be larger. What does the 'P' mean?
