Except that he said "I can copy files between the Win2K and WinXP machines at just over 10MB/s in a single stream and max out the 11MB/s with two streams." I am assuming he used the same client in that test as he did with the test against Samba. So from what he's said it seems that he gets more speed with a Windows server than with Samba for the same client. -- Michael Wood <[email protected]> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
