Indeed. Perhaps I misunderstood your issue. In my case, having a concurrent ssh connection between the same boxen seemed to increase the chance of having a good transfer speed via Samba. (This was in no way a reliable or even directly related effect.) However, scp transfer speeds, both ways, were always normal (read: good). Samba was the *only* protocol which suffered. With that in mind, I'm hoping your problem is indeed different from mine, and that you find a simple solution. If so, please post it to the list with "SOLVED" in the subject line. I'd be very interested in hearing it, and it would then be available in the archives. Cheers, Tim Hammerquist
