Why not suss out where the delay is before changing things? See "Premature Optimization". Watch with wireshark and see if you see [long] pauses in the exchange. My guess is that you'll find pauses where the client [the Windows PC] isn't doing anything - which Samba can't help. IPv6 will only matter if the client is using IPv6 and in 2009 disabling IPv6 is just a bit retro. Haven't tested with Samba but in general we find IPv6 to be slightly faster. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
