samba - Jul 2006 - Speeding up samba

Hi--

My old samba server, running on a RedHat 9.0 eMachines box, ran well. It died
this weekend.

So I took a new Ubuntu 6.06 box and restored the data files here and turned it
into a samba server. My other two Ubuntu boxes (which mount cifs) and my two Win
boxes (one XP Pro, one Win95) are all slow on this network now.

Are there any tricks for speeding up samba generally?

Thanks!

Try this:
     socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=65536 SO_RCVBUF=65536 
IPTOS_LOWDELAY
