Very Computer

OS: SuSE Linux 7.1 Kernel 2.4.7
        Samba Version 2.2.0a
        CVS Version 1.11

Samba- Problem:
I have mount a Samba share on my Windows- Clients (NT and W2K). When I try
to copy a lokal directory to the Samba share I get the error messages
(german): Pfadname zu lang (english: path to long). Everything else works
pretty good. I tried different settings in the smb.conf, but without
success.

CVS- Problem:
I want to import a lokal directory from into cvs but nothing happen. No
error messages but also no import. wincvs stucks and I have to kill it with
the task manager. cvs checkout works fine. I think the problem is also
founded on the Linux side, because I also have CVS on SCO OpenServer 5.0.5
and have no problems.

cat /etc/smb.conf:
[global]
        workgroup = myWorkgroup
        netbios name = myNetbiosName
        server string = myServerString
        security = DOMAIN
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        allow trusted domains = No
        password server = myPasswordServer(Windows NT4.0 PDC)
        lanman auth = No
        log level = 3
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        name resolve order = host bcast
        character set = ISO8859-1
        preferred master = False
        local master = No
        domain master = False
        dns proxy = No
        create mask = 0766
        directory mask = 0777
        hosts allow = x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0

[projekt]
        comment = Projekte
        path = /usr2/projekt
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

[disks]
        comment = Interessante Programme ...
        path = /usr2/disks
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

It wasn't as SAMBA problem, it was the configuration of the NIC.

I have a 3COM- Switch with 10/100Mbit autosense.

The NIC (3COM 3C905C- TX- M) was configured to work just with full- duplex
and 100Mbit/s.

Actually there should not to be a problem.

I changed the NIC configuration with the DOS- utility (3c90xcfg.exe) the
media type to "Auto Select" and everything works perfect.

Maybe this could help someone...
