Marc, You nailed the one thing that came to mind for me too - I've seen mysterious/slow through-puts before and it's always been mis-matched duplex settings for me. Plus, first rule of debugging stuff like this - "Start at the physical layer." Ryan, Have you tried other file-transfer protocols? i.e., ftp or copying a file using ssh or rsync? If those were fast while SMB was slow, then debugging service-configs would be the place to look. If those are slow too, look at the physical layer. I know you're using an airport extreme, but are you hooked up to it with physical cables or is everything going wireless? I suspect you have wired connections but if not that does change things a bit. When you tried your direct connection that failed to work, were you using a cross-over cable? While your description of your setup was pretty good, there are still points of ambiguity - if the problem still exists after your next round of debugging draw a picture of your network config. -Rob On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 1:17 AM, Marc Skinner <marc at e-skinner.net> wrote: > look at the "socket options" in smb.conf i have mine set as: > > socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 > > i would also check the duplex and auto-neg setting on the samba server. > i would hard set them as well. > > my 2 cents. > > On 09/01/2009 12:50 AM, Ryan Coleman wrote: > > I'm having painfully slow transfers from my FreeBSD 6.3 ia64 running > > Samba 3.3 to Vista (between 1KiBps to 15KiBps) and also to Windows 7 > > (50KiBps to 250 KiBps) and I've tried all the windows corrections up > > and down the board to no avail.
