<DIV>Couple of things you want to check first:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Do you have any of this setting in your smb.conf file:</DIV>
<DIV>socket options = TCP_NODELAY</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV><BR>
