samba issues

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello list,
I was wondering, if anyone has had issues with samba hanging. I install it, 
and it takes 5-10 minutes to start, then it works for about two transfers 
and crashes.
I bought an external hd, and I would like to allow sftp access to it through 
the linux comp, but be able to access it in the network via samba.

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
