Hi Will,
Alright ALTHOUGH this makes no sense at all
do you have
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
I read that someone fixed this issue by swapping out a RTL8111 card.
I have this card AND I have this problem. It is only affecting
samba access from windows, http from windows is fine
google "samba RTL8111" to get a feel for it :-))
I am going to swap the NIC on Thursday I will report back.
Changing the NIC solved this problem.
I tried bulding the realtek driver from their site, but I could not
convince the OS to use it. at €20 for a new NIC it just wasn't worth
spending any more time on it.
Can anyone imagine what could possibly be wrong with a NIC or its
driver so as to ONLY affect samba to windows ??!!!

Hi all,
I'm seeing slow transfers to/from my samba server. I just tried to
copy a 270MB file from a samba share to an XP machine. At first,
the estimated time displayed as 141 minutes :(
The odd thing is that if I then flood-ping from the server (in
this case, I pinged my dsl router), the transfer completes in
about 10 seconds. Hitting F5 repeatedly when browsing a share on
the server also causes an increase of speed. I seem to get *more*
throughput when there's a higher load.. Watching a video off a
samba share is quite choppy and keeps stopping but leaving the
ping running seems to fix it.
Any ideas? My google powers fail me..
