Re: [Samba] Browsing Samba shares slow when server has no DNS access
Yes the second suggestion was my question I guess, why does the Samba server need to be able to resolve DNS queries for it to work properly. I can re-create the problem by deleting entries from resolv.conf or by disconnnecting the ADSL connection, so it seems the Samba server depends on DNS resolution to work properly. Why is this? How do I stop it? Samba should not need dns but it can depending on your configuration. Have you tried using the ipaddress in your client instead of the name? Also when the internet goes down does your network card loose its ipaddress?

[Samba] Browsing Samba shares slow when server has no DNS access
Hi all, I've got a problem where the browsing of shares is very slow (30 sec to open a share) if the Samba server has no access to dns servers. The result is every time the internet goes down, no one can do any work on their local network files. How can I stop this from happening?

One way is to install your own dns server. dnrd is very easy to install and setup. I actually install this on most linux client machines because it takes the load off my main dns servers. The other way is to figure out why needing a dns name to be resolved is happening on your local network and preventing communication between samba and your clients.
