Hi Michael,

I've been checking the error_log and there was no problem with it.

By the way, I'm using Redhat 8 and included CUPS package in the CD with version 1.1.15 during installation.  My clients are using Windows 98.

Here are my observations with the server:  When I'm using the server alone and use it for printing and copying of files or even accessing these files it has no problem. It only hangs when there where many jobs to print and copying big files on its shared folder while another client tries to connect or access the server.

Could you give me some idea if I had wrong configuration.

Thanks a lot for replying.
