Man9.1 - networking delay/Samba


Hallo to all,

I am a linux newbie and I have the following problem (I have post such problem on networking area too...)

A PC with
SO: Linux Mandrake 9.1 2.4.21-0.13(bamboo)
MoBo: Asus P4P8X
Ethernet: 1 Gigabit 3c940 LOM (i.e. 3c2000 driver, vers -066)

A PC with
SO: Windows 98 SE
Ethernet: DLink 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter
Modem 56k D-Link -> internet

They are connected by a twisted pair cable (i.e. no hub) 2 m. (6 ft.) long.

It works with ping (both on IP address and NetBIOS names).

I have some problems with Samba (vers. 2.2.7a):
1. the linux PC is unable to see the PC Win98 shared directories.
2. the PC Win98 is able to see the PC Linux shared directories, but can only open/copy file less than 2K in size (Error message: source no longer available).

Thus, assuming that IP is working fine, and after trying several option on samba config file with no success, I installed a telnet server on PC Linux and try to connect from the PC win98 (I have a suspect on TCP settings). The results is that the telnet is very (too much) slow... I wait several seconds (10 or more) to obtain an answer, and often I have a timeout (connection lost) error...

Any ideas? Where I can take a look to find a solution on such problem?

Thanks for any suggestion...

Giuseppe

PS. of course, I can post the config files or more information, if needed...

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
