There are a couple NFS *client* packages for Win95/98 and, I think, one
half-decent server package... the other client/server NFS packages are all
for NT, but every last one of them is commercial and cost a bundle.
On the same token, a question... I run Win98 on a P2-350 and Mandrake 6 on
a P166 and I have a real hard time transferring files whether it be via
samba or FTP or even telnet. Sending from Win98 to Linux is *fast*... the
CPS rates on transfers is incredible. The other way around, tho, causes
some problems... it starts off fast, but more often than not after about
5-10MB of file transfers, the CPS rate continually drops with no more
transferring. I'm pretty sure that it's a Win98 problem because when I had
SuSE on this same machine (dual boot) FTP back and forth worked excellent
both ways.
Does anyone have an idea of what I can do here? I think I need to find a
way to either have Win98 receive things at a higher rate of speed (or a way
to make Win98 handle the high-speed transfers) or a way to slow Linux down
when transferring to a specific IP address. Both are NE2000 PCI network
cards (10mbit) on a 10/100 hub. Any ideas or suggestions would be
appreciated. This problem has haunted me for months, and if I can find a
way to solve it, I'd be very happy.
