Couple of things you want to check first: 1) Network settings of both your server's NIC and the port it is connected into. Ensure that they are both set identical to each other ( 100FD or AUTO for example). 2) Do you have any of this setting in your smb.conf file: socket options = TCP_NODELAY These two are some of the biggest issues I've run into in regards to samba performance. There might be other issues, but I'd start with those. -- > -Shawn > > -Nemo me impune lacessit. Ne Obliviscaris.. > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
