Sorry for my english, may be it's not very clear ( and the problem isn't 
clear to me too ...)
I have approx 200 window$ clients, and up to now, I didn't have many 
problems with samba.
The problem is coming now with modern motherboard (ASUS P4P800 ) which 
includes the 3C940 nic from 3Com.
Only windows clients with realtek 8139 have problems working with a 
samba server wich such a motherboard.
