[ILUG] Samba time out problems

[John Mc Donald]

I am having an intermittent problem connecting between a windows and Linux machine using samba. From time to time when I use some of the MS Office applications (but I don't think the problem is restricted to those apps), it takes up to a minute for the file to copy accross the network. I have looked at my samba logs and this is what I have found. Does anyone out there know whats going on here. I am running Redhat 6.2 Kernel 2.2.12-20 Samba 2.0.5a-12 (but I don't think its the version of samba since it has happened to me on previous versions).
TIA.

John.
