...f time. Transfer speeds looked like 5k/sec vs ftp with the same file/machine setup, 750k/sec. I found a solution to my problem. My problem I think was something the duplex mode whether it was incorrectly configured in the driver and/or swith router I'm not sure. My solution was to not use the fa311.o module available from netgear's website but instead use the natsemi driver located at http://www.scyld.com/network/natsemi.html. After installing this driver, my speed problems went away. I hope this helps anyone else who is struggling! -Damien Joldersma damien.joldersma@vykor.com

I got weird problem that I could only write to the samba server but I could not read from it with errors like: [2001/03/04 16:36:38, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(540) write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2001/03/04 16:36:38, 6]

...ter some amount of time ( perhaps 30 seconds to a minute ), sometimes the speed picks up again. (following the pattern above ) The two computers are linked via a netgear 100Mb hub. The XP box has a 3com etherlink PCI card ( set to auto sense media / 3c???c ), and the samba box is running a netgear FA311 ( I think I remembered the code OK! ) 100Mbs, which seems to use 100Mbs-HD. I am using Kernel 2.4.20 / Samba ( latest - downloaded yesterday in case this was a samba problem ). I have tried forcing both cards to full-duplex, and this results in complete network failure on the XP side, but normal o...

...sn't transfer. So now my server has had both Mandrake8.0 and Redhat7.1 and both have the same problem. 6. As a last resort, I am looking for a distro to put on top of my Win98SE that can check once and for all if the problem is in my Win98SE. (I just need a distro that can work with my Netgear FA311 NIC.) If I can FTP something from the machine running Linux...then it's Win98. If I can't...well it's either the wiring (which I've checked) or the Linux server. Any ideas? Kevin Foss Ottawa, Canada Hi Don First, I'm glad you're using samba on mdk ;o) I would also susp...
