     I have a server running debian (testing) with samba. All permissions etc...
    work and i can create folders etc.... my problem is that when i try to
    transfer files on the server windows (win2000 prof) locks up. after
    rebooting and going back to the server i find that the file has been
    transferred with no problems

    Also if i try to open any file on the server (it opens folders just fine)
    windows locks up as well. basically any (read) file access locks up windows
    but write does not, i would have put it down to faulty windows installation
    had i not found out that other people who also accessed the server got the
    same problem (windows lockup (win 2k & XP tested) ).

    I believe it must be related to the server (possibly samba). while this is
    my first attempt at using debian in a server i have used redhat before yet I
    have never had a problem like this before, what could be causing it? (note
    that from the server directly i can access the files with no problem)

    Any help sorely appreciated as i am completely lost with this problem
