samba - Apr 2010 - Network so slow

Hello,

i replaced a windows-file-server with a linux-server and samba.
All clients run under Windows xp in an 100 mbit network.
With the windows solution i got no problems with the speed.

With my linux-samba-solution we detect a very slow network.
Per example i open a windows.xls or windows.doc file and this runs 30 seconds
and more. Othertime i can open the documents in 5-10 seconds.

Has anybody any ideas?

Parallel to this mail i check my network connection and parameters of the
network interface (dma, mtu, etc).

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Hello Grant,

thanks for your reply.

Sorry for my fault.

It's a samba which comes default with opensuse 11.2.

$: smbd -V
Version 3.4.2-1.1.3.1-2229 SUSE-SL11.2

Attached the smb.conf.

If you need more information please let me know.


Thanks for your support,

Michael

now there's not enough info for anyone to even hazard a guess.
