Hi! I?m having trubbles with the speed on my samba server, I just uppgraded to gigabit (Realtek 8169 NIC) at home when i copy stuff from the samba server i get around 5-6Mb/sec and if i use ftp to access the same file on the same server i get almost 30Mb/sec does anyone have a clue what causes this problem? When i used my old 3com 905c for the local net i got normal 100Mbit speed (around 10-12Mb/sec) My system: Debian Unstable Kernel 2.6.3 Athlon XP 2200+ 512Mb DDR 2x 120Gb hdd Realtek 8169 Gigabit NIC 3Com 905c 10/100Mbit Best regards Jonas

Also with a RTL8169 card. Same effect, although on a SuSE box. Anders Norrbring

(One BIG 100MB file, or 100 1MB files?) 2) How to you calculate the xxMB/sec? 3) Do you get the same results both directions? 3a) copy \\server\share\bigfile c:\ 3b) copy c:\bigfile \\server\share I can then check my xfer rates to see if I am or am not having similar results. THANKS, Mike

If the NIC were at fault FTP would be slow, too.

If the other card is running at full speed, it?s very likely the NIC causing the problems. GH
