||| I have a linux box running SuSE 8.2 with samba ||| 2.2.7-a58. Everything works well except when ||| clients workstations copy files to their ||| workstations, in particular my client running ||| Mac OS X. Mac OS X supports the SMB protocol. I ||| had a look at the logs but could not see ||| anything that looks out of the ordinary, not ||| that I know what everything means, but nothing ||| from a glance that would point to a reason for ||| my problem. I even rebooted the server but still ||| no luck. Copying to the server seems fine. In ||| fact copying a few Gig of data takes less time ||| than retreiveing 40 MB from the server. ||| ||| I also had a look at the network card settings. ||| It's set to full duplex 100MB and only 0 errors, ||| collisions are plenty but this is a "flat" ||| network so it's to be expected.
|| Hold on. Collisions are not to be expected if your || NIC is 100/FD. It implies that there is a switch, || not a hub, between your Mac and Samba. You should || set your NIC to Auto-Detect speed or to 100/HD if || you are connected via a hub. And even if it is a || switch, your setting must match the port setting, || so check it out. | Thanks for the tip. I don't know how to change the | card under linux. Is there a way? man mii-tool will tell you how you can do it, unless your NIC doesn't comply. But I thought your problem was on the Mac side. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
