I had already tried the top two things to no avail yesterday. I tried removing the above key and it made no difference at all. As we speak I'm transferring 285MB of data from the Linux box to the XP box and it has been 8 minutes so far and my guess is that it will take another 9 - 10 minutes. If I do it from my linux server and copy it to the xp box, it will blast over in about 2 minutes or less!!

I've started looking them over. As you know, it is somewhat like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm home sick today, so I'll do some more "googling" to see if someone has come up with a "fix" for this. If I forgot to mention, SP1 does NOT make a difference for my particular problem. Also, I'm using mdk 9.1 with out of the box Samba. Nothing "special". I'm running 100Bt Half duplex hub. XP to XP fast. XP to ME fast. Linux to XP fast. XP to Linux slooooowwwww. ??? This one has me stumped. What is interesting.... is I swear when I was running older versions of Mandrake I don't recall this slowness. So even though I've bashed XP, perhaps it has been premature.
