Hello to all.
I have a series of issues that are preventing a permanent switch to Linux, something I am working to and hope to be able to do with the help of kind people here.
I'll post these various issues in different parts of the forum, where they are relevant. In each case I am talking about the same machine, a 2ghz/512ram Dell Inspiron 2650 with Suse 10.2 installed with updates.
Please help me ditch Windows permanently and get my Linux install stable and settled. (Please search for my other posts under the username Ceviche)

Samba stalling issues
Each and every time I use Samba to access a Windows server, to copy a file big or small, it stalls. Every single time. What's more, on Windows shares that require passwords, the correct password I enter is always rejected.
It is completely impossible to use, I haven't modified any Samba settings.. do I have to do something to make it work?

Could you explain how you are mounting the Windows shares and what authentication they required.

I am using Konqueror.
The Windows shares I have tested with were shared to Windows user "Everyone", others required a username and password of an administrator.

It maybe worth using shell commands to mount and navigate around the mounts. This would prove whether the problem is samba or Konquerer.

How large are these files?
