The one in the office is a Wipro NetPower server with a 3 GHz Pentium 4 and 2 GB RAM. both servers run the default samba versions they came with, and both clients are kept upto date it could possibly be a problem with the default ubuntu server configuration, but i have not checked it out yet -- Gautham Ganapathy http://lisphacker.org
