I have two network cards. I am trying to have samba working on the
secondary card. It works, however, it is painfully slow. If I download
the file as an http request, it takes around 10s. However, the same file
takes minutes with Samba. My relevant configuration is:
[global]
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h (Samba %v)
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096
SO_RCVBUF=4096
wins support = no
wins server = 192.168.1.101 ; I also tried without...
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
interfaces = eth1 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.1
bind interfaces only=True
socket address=192.168.1.5
[test]
path=/var/shared
browseable=no
public=no
#hosts deny=0.0.0.0/0
#hosts allow=192.168.1.0/24
I do not know what to do now. It is slow from a Windows XP client, a
Windows 98 Client, a Mac client (Dave) and a Linux box with smbclient.
