is smbfs likely to be faster than that if i can get it working? and does anyone know an easy to follow guide that may help me troubleshoot my problem?.
If it's faster I don't know because I don't use Amiga Explorer. But I use smbfs and it's fast!
Start smbfs from the shell as follows:
1. raise the stack to 60000 by typing "stack 60000" in a shell window
2. then type in a the shell window "smbfs WORKGROUP=
USER= PASSWORD= SERVICE=///"
I assume you run WinXP on your PC. It is necessary to have one or more users with password on that PC. Replace the items between <> with the right information. Don't forget to share the directory on the PC you want to use from your Amiga. And don't forget to add an entry to the Amiga's hosts file with the name and the IP-address of your PC.
