Dear Sir(s), I insatlled the lastest version os samba server on a challenge(SGI machine)with IRIX 6.3,i've got client windows nt 4.0 workstation service pack 3. It seems all good but i only have a big problem:i can't play mpeg files from server,this files have a bitrate of 3.8 Mbit/sec and 2.5-3Gb of dimension,is there any problem with samba at this bitrates? Is there something i have to add/change in the smb.conf? Please reply to this question,is very important for me!

What speeds are you seeing over FTP or NFS? Have a look at docs/Speed.txt for details, but the following options are how I've seen the best performance: in [global] getwd cache = true read prediction = true ;(although I think this now has no effect in 1.9.18) debug level = 1 ;(or 0 if you're particually daring, to save time writing logs) os level = 0 domain master = no local master = no preferred master = no ;(These stop the machine being master browser, which means ; that it doesn't waste time there.) socket options = TCP_NODELAY If _and_only_if_ the share is read only: [share_name] locking = no share modes = no oplocks = no fake oplocks = yes Disclaimer: I offer no guarantee that these options will not corrupt your data, although I've used them safely, use at your own risk.
