I Administer an NT Server running SFM, serving a few macs all running
7.6.1, on a normal 10 base T ethernet network. iis also runs on the NT
Server.

1. Occasionally, I notice that I can't save a web file being edited with
BBEdit that is currently being served thru iis....NT has apparently put
some kind of lock on the file (that does eventually expire). Is this normal
and correct behavior? I can FTP on top of a file currently being served,
why can't I save on top of it thru an Appletalk connection? Is SFM involved
here in a way it shouldn't be?

2. I get wild fluctuations in ethernet performance during file copies to
and from the NT Server...100 ~ 600 KB/second. One weird thing I've noticed:
when the performance is very low, launching IE 4.x on the NT Server machine
bumps it back up to its top speed. Any clues?

3. I've given up creating folders on SFM volumes *from* the NT
Server...there's always a bizarrely long delay after the first few letters
are typed in, and the NT machine ultimately aborts, leaving the folder with
its default name: "New Folder". Can anyone else corroborate this behavior?
Can anything be done?

Thanks,
