[wellylug] Samba Issue

[Ian Sterling]

I have a problem with this from time to time with my windows machines
trying to run files (mostly self-extracting installers and the like)
on my samba shares.  At the same time I could be doing stuff over nfs,
and playing mp3s from another share and everything would be fine.  No
idea what causes this.  It usually takes about 35 seconds or so before
everything's working fine again.  No idea what causes it.  Buf if
anybody knows, I'm willing to learn!
