<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>
