Dear All, Sorry to repeat a question I've seen mentioned before, but have not been able to find a solution to my specific instance.
I have an XP SP2 box (and one with no SP), and some Win2K boxes, and a Samba server (3.0.9-2). The Win2K boxes can all copy files to the server at a reasonable speed, but the XP boxes are all dreadfully slow. FTP from the XP boxes is fine. The XP boxes can also copy to the Win2k boxes at a reasonable speed. I have tried: - attaching the XP boxes to the network cables of the desktops & vice-verca. This results in unchanged behaviour (XP slow, 2K fast) - FTP from the XP machines (runs fast) - rebooting XP - rebooting server - directly connecting XP machine to server - XP copy to Win2k (fast) But with no luck. The time (estimated) to copy a 2 GB file is > 200 minutes. Microsoft KB articles talk about changing TcpAckFrequency Values on the server, for slow comms from XP to a Win2K PDC (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321169) but this is on the server, and the same article talks about changing RequireSecuritySignature & EnableSecuritySignature (on the client, I think), but these are already set to 0. The most odd thing about this is that the poor performance started happening during a copy operation: 10GB were copied in a few minutes, then the connection ran slow and has run slow ever since. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
