Re: [LUG] [Fwd: Wireless Samba]

Basically, Samba won't care how the two are connected - it looks for a valid

say if there are likely to be differences in how Samba works wired vs 
wireless - I've never trusted wireless. 

The whole point of layered networking protocols is the upper layers
don't care how the lower layers work - so it should be identical to any
ethernet (or any other) IP network.

Obviously there is a risk of packet loss, but many corporate wired
networks are badly maintained and lose far more packets than they
should, and Microsoft networking protocols seem to survive okay there.
