samba timeouts



Hi, 
I am  having fun running samba across a wireless network. When mounting a 
samba mount (debian to debian) I often get the following errors
smb_add_request: request [ffff81001dbd7080, mid=15039] timed out!

Which seem to precede the network dropping badly. I am not sure if it is a  
problem with samba or with my wireless. 
I also find that the wireless often does not keep up with streaming of mp3's. 
Is there a packet size option I can set on samba to change the packet size 
used to see if that helps (along with suggestions for packet sizes).

I could also look at NFS, I never bothered before as it was mostly windows 
access to the box, if people think it will be more reliable across wireless 
than samba.

All thoughts welcome 

Anton
