I have recently replaced the last Microsoft server with a freebsd box running Samba and acting as PDC. The two satellite buildings are linked with dedicated T1 circuits and the Samba server is in the hub building. Everything works so far... I needed to extend the reach of the wiring in one of the buildings and installed an SMC inexpensive router/access point running the latest and greatest 802.11G. The wireless cards installed in several desktops are also SMC and 802.11G compliant. The desktops were joined to the Samba domain and are running Window 2000 Professional. Everything works but the domain logins are so slow as to be almost unuseable. Once logged-in, the connection is fast and snappy, almost indistinguishable from the wired connections in the same building. What could be going on?? Yes there is the download time for the roaming profile but that in itself can't explain 10-15 minute login waits... I will probably post this question on the Samba list as well, forgive me if it is misplaced here, but freebsd folks are pretty bright as a rule maybe you have some ideas (Samba is running on FreeBSD v 4.8 Release soon-to-be-upgraded-to-stable).
