The TCP/IP stack in Win95/98 was not exactly, um, state of the art (ping of doom anyone?). It could be something as simple as the Win95/98 stack doesn't support multihomed hosts properly. Try the following: * Make Win95/98 point to just ONE address only; use an LMHOSTS file with just ONE IP entry specified for the Samba server. * Make your Samba install a WINS server, and point the Win95/98 boxes at it. This isn't supposed to matter, but then again, I've seen modern Win2k3 networks running WINS to help things along... Another thought; are you using a managed switch? A simple layer 2 switch will get very confused if it sees the same MAC address twice on different ports, and will usually start multicasting over every switch port. You might be getting duplicates/already ACKed packets twice or something to that effect. I'm agreeing with parent post that the XP stack is probably better able to handle it when strange things start happening at the layer 2 level because you're bonding at layer 3. My Win XP box seems to ACK both channels on an unmanaged switch with a bonded server feeding it. I have no proof to back that up, but I find it fitting when the connection always maxes out at 50% like it's hit a glass ceiling. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] Re: Samba with 2 NICs
Yes, I use switch. My Wins Server is a Windows 2000 in same network. I don't have any hub to execute a test. Hummm...LMHOSTS, it was long time ago, someone remember that ? maybe I can logon using 192.168.1.2 and not domain name. I will try at monday. 2008/9/19 Avery Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Scott Lovenberg wrote: Avery Payne wrote: hamacker wrote: [snip] I can't understand why WinXP can logon and win95/98 is not, if enable 2 NICs on my system.
