Hi there, we've got the following problem, while Windows-Clients works with samba and a DOS-Client connects over Mars_NWE to the same Linux-Server: When the DOS-Client opens a file on the linux-server and the WinClient opens the same file, and when both clients want to write the same file, the windows-client gets an error and crashes. We tried it only with the windows-clients and there is no problem, writing the same file in the same time. So we think this is an Mars_NWE problem. Is there anybody who has the same problem and perhabs a solution for it ? We hope so, that we we can change our old Novell-Servers to Linux. By the way, there is no chance to change to DOS-Client to make serverconnection through samba. It must be NWClient! Our environment: SuSE Linux 7.2 with Kernel 2.4.16 ReiserFS 3.x.0k Samba 2.2.1a DOS 6.22, Win9x Clients Mars_NWE 0.99pl20 -- SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN Jens
