RE: [Samba] Problems with MS Office (Excel/Word) Samba 3.0.11, (moved to testing 3.0.12-RC1) attn Jerry
In our experience, the network delay had to do with a couple of things: #1 - name resolution, some machines were using WINS, othere DNS, others nothing at all - changed all machines to dhcp clients using WINS DNS - fixed a lot #2 - NDS/Novell client issues, running Novell Netware samba not work well when neither know's of the other's existence, since we're retiring Novell server anyhow - removal of Netware Client drastically sped up browsing on clients (not to mention, means we are running solely tcpip - no more IPX/SPC protocol) #3 - One network, one protocol. We have since moved any of the remaining Netware clients (which must remain for accounting software packages amongst other things) to purely tcpip clients, thus removing all IPX/SPX traffic from the LAN. We also subnetted the office and shop networks independantly as the various shop machines don't need to resolve from the windows clients at all. Just a few housecleaning items which really should have been done anyways, but figured they were worth mentioning in case anyone else has been experiencing delays too. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate Tool Ltd. http://www.wmplt.com/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gerald (Jerry) Carter Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 9:09 AM To: david rankin Cc: samba Subject: Re: [Samba] Problems with MS Office (Excel/Word) Samba 3.0.11,(moved to testing 3.0.12-RC1) attn Jerry -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 david rankin wrote: |I don't know if this is related, but I am still having fits in | Office 2003 with the file open dialog hanging for 30 seconds when | trying to open files.

[Samba] Problems with MS Office (Excel/Word) Samba 3.0.11, (moved to testing 3.0.12-RC1) attn Jerry
We are running with a little over 100GB of office data, and about 200GB misc other data shared to approximately 50 users using samba across two servers acting as PDC and BDC to Windows 2000 XP Pro clients. Also using roaming profiles and ldap backend inclusive of nss_ldap and pam_ldap for the unix side - works well except for the more recent and horribly crippling MS Office bug. Tried disabling/veto'ing oplocks, but to no avail, so we've opted to try 3.0.12-rc1 on one of the two servers; all is well at this point thus far (been running about 10mins), figured I'd drop the list a line; Just a note - we've been having huge problems with MS Excel and Word running on samba 3.0.11, moved over to 3.0.12-rc1, (even though this is a production environment). ... Will advise and let you know if the problems persist, or if we find any new ones. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate Tool Ltd. http://www.wmplt.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Please be exact on the version of MS-Office you're running with. I can't reproduce the problems with a MS-Office 2003 - if you're running an earlier version I'll need to go back a rev or so.
