Peachtree Complete V12.0.00.023 on Samba 3.0.22

Back in 2002, a friend bought a Toshiba Linux "appliance". It was a cool device, about the size of a toaster. No keyboard, no monitor, just telnet to the device. We moved the data files for our Peachtree

Based on that, I don't think you would have a problem. I don't know Slackware well enough to tell you the keystrokes to do the mapping. I think this is the key to making it where the workstations can see the files.

It really sounds like more of a network issue . . . Peachtree (and more poignantly btrieve) is *very* sensitive to network issues. Minor issues (nic starting to go bad, etc.) that users normally don't notice with other apps can result in the sort of behavior you're seeing . . .

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the drives are mapped to the workstations (Z:). I noticed that when this user (Dave) is using peachtree a large number of empty files are created. I will have to wait until they are open this morning, but when they are, I will post a list of files.

I would have suspected hardware as well, but this is why I do not.

Before we installed a dedicated fileserver, they had a xp peer-to-peer network that was showing the same problems. (30s to 3m to post) We installed the fileserver moved the peachtree folder to a share, and mapped drives. We also replaced thier Actiontec Router with a Netgear FVS318. There was no issues until we added a third user. By added I mean, a third user started using Peachtree. When the third user started using, we started having this slowness issue again.

Any other directions you can point me in?!

Thank You. ~kurth

Here is a bit more information.

The following is a filelisting from the peachtree data directory. Notice all the files are empty. Could the presence of these files in the data directory be causing the issue? Anything?
