Hi, I am just setting up a samba installation that will finally be utilized by approx. 150 workstations, most of them WXP. Now after successfully installing & integrating samba into the existing W2K3 ADS structure, we started tuning the server by for example measuring network load. What currently puzzles us is that Windows XP clients never seem to get over 85 to 90Mbit, eg. when copying large files from/to the server (from/to does not make a difference). Using FTP we can easily reach rates just below 100Mbit and copying files locally on the samba server using smbclient gives us > 2Gbits, so it is apparently no samba problem. For testing purposes we even put all the boxes involved on a seperate switch, but that did not change anything ... So I have 2 questions: 1. has someone else seen the same? 2. can this be circumvented (if not on the samba side, maybe on the client side?)
