samba - Feb 2001 - WIN2k SAmba file transfer speed issue > dead! 8)

after help from a  few good sambanites I think i have come up with a global
that just rocks file transfer speed wise from a samba 2.07 server to a win2k
client. Before these lines I was transferring 2meg files in an hour (form
the samba server to a win2k client) now I am transfrerring gigabytes in very
very little time, much faster than file transfers from a wn2k cliemt to a
win2k server even in a switched network!

here is the global, the last seven lines are the good ones:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = MYDRAGONFLY
        netbios name = GENIE
        server string = Samba Server
        security = user
        status = yes
        log file = /var/log/log.%m
        log level = 1
        wins server = 192.168.0.1 (this is the samba servers internal nic
IP) (multi homed nat box)
        max log size = 50
        socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
        domain logons = Yes
        preferred master = Yes
        login script = scripts\%U.bat
        dns proxy = No
        domain admin group = @mdf (an user group for high access admins)
        homedir map = /usr/home/~
        hosts allow =  (my ip's).
        encrypt passwords = yes  ( yep win2k needs them)
        max xmit = 65535 (yes 65535 the limit)
        strict sync = no (yep a biggie)
        strict locking = no (another biggie)
        hide files = no
        read raw = yes (big time help)
        write raw = yes (this one too)
        oplocks = yes
        dead time = 15 (default is zero)


this is the config that has rocked me win2k file transfer speed wise


Enjoy peoples,

Hello Seth

Just a few observations on your setup.

This is the default
>         status = yes
>         log file = /var/log/log.%m
>         log level = 1
>         wins server = 192.168.0.1 (this is the samba servers internal nic

All the above (last 7 line) options you've used are default,except deadtime,
according to the Using Samba book with Samba 2.0.7.

In my setup, I've assumed that these values are set automatically even
though
they are no mentioned in my smb.conf.

Am I wrong here?
