I ignored this problem until I installed another system on my wireless
segment that exhibited the same problem.
When printing from Windows -> Linux across the wireless connection in my
home it can take up to 5 minutes for the print job to be sent. Every
time I click on "Properties" of the shared printer in Windows it takes
about 5 minutes for the properties dialog to appear. Could it be that
I'm doing SMB over NAT?
Here my network configuration.
1. Linux Router (eth0:192.168.1.0 eth1:buford.linxdev.com)
192.168.1.0:
1. Desktop (192.168.1.115) File and Printers are here
2. Linksys 802.11b Router
(WAN:192.168.1.104 WLAN,ETH:192.168.254.0)
1. Windows PC with 802.11b adapter (192.168.254.101)
I'm printing from 1.2.1 -> 1.1 above. File sharing works
great and there is no slowness at all.
