I am currently having a speed problem in writing to samba over thin Ethernet connection. Here is the story. My Linux card has two Ethernet cards in it. One for accessing the campus network and for the internet and the other for my internal network consisting of two computers, the Linux-PC and the windows 95 one. Computers from campus connection via a 10-Base-T (twisted pair) connection can read and write two my Linux PC with no problem (tried it on an NT and Windows 95 machine) however when I write to it from my internal net over 10-Base-2 (thin Ethernet) connection I have serious speed problems writing to the samba server. Writing a 3gbyte file takes about 3 minutes and the disk drive becomes VERY active. I don't think its my network cards because I have rotated them around with no improvement. When I ftp the same file over there it only took a few seconds and it reported a speed of 888 Mbytes per second and there is LITTLE disk activity on the Linux PC. My system is a custom made PC with a K90 chip and 16 Mb of ram. Debian 1.31 with a custom complied kernel ver 1.0.30 with IP masquerading support complied in and used. I am using the samba package ver 1.9.17p2-0.0. A copy of the Global section of smb.conf can be found at the end of this document. Except for redirecting internet traffic from my Windows 95 Machine the Linux PC hardy does anything and I am the only one who ever accesses it except for a few exceptions when my lab partners access shares on it. I am really baffled by this problem and would appreciate any help what so ever in tracking down this problem. If you need me to run some tests for additional information please let me know. This may wen be a bug in samba.
