When you initiated the transfer on the Linux box it took around two minutes to do the transfer, and you called it fast (blast). I repeated that behavior in my own setup. I got the same results when initiating the transfer on my Mandrake box using Konqueror and command line (cp). I call it slow because when I initiate the transfer on the Win2000 box, using Windows Explorer, I get the same transfer done in under a minute. Why the huge difference in speed?
First I apologize for not reporting what I found yesterday. 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!!Seems like this is related to the stuff discussed in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321169 and possibly in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321098 .
You may also want to try running regedit to do the following:
go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace" in the registry
remove {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} .
A two minute transfer for a file that size may be fast compared to a totally broken setup, but it is still half as fast as it should be. The question is: what needs to be done to have file transfers initiated in Linux get the same transfer speed experienced when they are initiated by Windows?
The same thing can be said for transfers between Linux and Linux. It experiences the same crippled transfer speed. The common thread being the transfer is initiated on a Linux box.
Remember though, this particular network is on a HUB, i.e. half-duplex. If there is any other sort of traffic what-so-ever it's going to be
noticeably slower (DNS lookups, Net-BT broadcasts, etc).
Who's network?
