Are you sure it's actually slow or are you just looking at the number
thinking it's slow...
If you are getting "fast speeds in the 100's of MBs" from the internet
then I want your internet connection. it's probably more like 100's of KB...
Regardless, only 1MB across LAN is still slow.

Sorry, I am using samba and kde and am copying files from a directory
on the
gentoo box to smb://<my xp box>/my directory using konqueror.
What other information can I supply?
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.
