Their all on a simple workgroup setup I shut off windows firewall -no change whether its running or not - all file shares are on the Linux box I have webmin setup and can use it admin Linux box from the xp machine the problem seem to be only when I try to open a file on the shared drive (mapped and drive p) example...
on the xp box I go to my computer open drive P I can see all files and DIR. even open other directories ( the responds is slow and sometimes it hang opening a DIR ) if I try to open any file the windows hangs or times out. . ... I can go to any 98 box open a file browse the DIR with no problem
