doing this over a 10mbs half duplex network will give lots of collisions (a half duplex network uses one set of wires to communicate both ways - hence you get collisions as both machines try to talk at the same time.
Also the smb protocal isn't very efficient so a long time like this isn't unexpected even if running 100mbs!
Prob best way if to spend a few (insert local currency) and buy a small 100mbs switch which will help esp if you're network cards can run 100mbs.

Hello
I have tried to find solution to my problem for a while but have only found solutions to why is Samba on Freebsd between Win2k too slow. Mine wokrs fine between win2k and BSD box.
I have freebsd 4.10 and 10MB network. With pentium 300mhz and 128MB memory running samba-3.0.5 iīm not very familiar with networking :-) . Also 2 x win2k sp4 machines (1800) and 80gt DMA133 drives. the problem is only when i try to transfer files between the win2k machines. about 100mb of stuff and win2k tells me that it lasts 25minutes. And it does. The hub collision led is most of the time on. I think this should be faster. Iīdont know if this problem is caused by samba or freebsd at all but i canīt really find any info about just this kind of problem or being just stupid or something. Everything else works fine.
did also the TCPDUMP stuff iīdont know if this helps

And so on with that ack value growing?
here is also the smb.conf file... My friend has configured it for me long time ago.. i donīt know how to catch my friend anymore.
add machine script = /usr/local/scripts/smb-add-machine %u log level = 1 socket options = TCP_NODELAY read raw = yes write raw = yes
oplocks = no
max xmit = 65535 dead time = 15
getwd cache = yes netbios name = Bsdgateway
workgroup = JUHONKATU server string = FreeBSDMylly
os level = 65
preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes timeserver = yes
display charset = ISO8859-15
unix charset = ISO8859-15 wins support=true
wins proxy=yes
dos filetime resolution=yes
interfaces = rl0
[netlogon] path = /samba/netlogon read only = yes write list = @yllapito browseable = no
and the other things...
So iīm only hoping someone can help me with this problem...
Oh forgot to mention that i have tested the both fullduplex and half-duplex settings and that from WIN machines. No luck. Thank you.
