Do you have any antivirus running that could be scanning all the files transfered? I cannot think of another reason for such a difference between your LAN and Internet transfer speeds. Try another protocol (HTTP, FTP) and check speed, if its still slow, its probably something on your XP box, if its fast, then you can check samba configuration. Anyway, disable any antivirus/firewall and try again. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
