I'm having some problems working with Samba. Here is by /etc/samba/smb.conf

I have 3 people with 3 windows xp sp2 computers trying to connect to one server, called quack-attack. Server is running debian sarge. That's samba 3.0.7-1, or whatever the most Here's the problems. 1. Incosistent connections. I often get the error "\\quack-attack is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions. Access is denied." when trying to connect to quack-attack. Also note that sometimes, when quack-attack is the smb network master, I'll get the error as well. Just with MSHOME, and not quack-attack. 2. Printing is slow. If I try to print a document when problem #1 is not occuring (about 25% of the time), it a long time to send. I can see my network card send away data and I can see the server's card accept it. Doing a ifconfig before and after suggests that about 10 megabytes of data are sent, sometimes just to print a plain ascii document. If I click on the printer status in windows, it opens the printer very slowly. For example, I'll open the printer, about 10 seconds later the printer queue box will open with title saying "Printer -- Initializing" then "Printer -- Refereshing" and about 10 seconds later, "Printer -- Ready" Anyone have ideas how to fix this?
