1) I have a samba server on my network, and I mapped a folder to it with this command:
mount -t smbfs -o username=rob,password=xxxxxx //192.168.1.69/data /data
It connects great, but when I try to copy files over 10 megs, My suse stalls and just sits there until I kill it or reboot it.
Are you going from a Windows machine to your SuSE one? I am assuming that all other file transfers work OK? Is it locking down on a specific type of file or any file over 10M in size?
2) I am sure this is a common question, but I have not figured out how to do this. I have a bunch of wmv files, but can not play them. I tried to instal vlc, but I was missing a bunch of dependancies even after using

I tried to install the w32codec-0.90-3.pm.0.i386.rpm, and it installed fine, but still no playing of the wmv files.
Is there some way of getting these to play?
Either MPlayer or xine can play those files. Be sure that you get all of the dependancies from the Packman site. Or you will get the same message that you got above. I just upgraded my xine and was able to play wmvs just fine.

It is any file over about 10 megs. Just locks up. It is a RH samba server that I have all my files on. I have been able to use windoz and other RH distos to get the files just fine. I can play streaming music over the link on my Suse machine just fine. Rob
