[olug] Samba and XP

[Jay Swackhamer]

Yes, I also have environments setup with the samba shares on a Linux
machine to WindowsXP machines.

I might add that after upgrading the machines(from 98 to XP) that were
sharing the disk to WindowsXP, any Windows98/ME clients that had been
using the disk , would blue screen under heavy disk load.

So,
Client      Samba share
Win98/ME  -> Win98/ME       works
Win98/ME  -> Linux          works
Win98/ME  -> WinXP Pro      BSOD
WinXP Pro -> Linux          works
