Now the basic problem is this :- Transfer of file [eg. 200Mb] Dual boot on XP -- XP speed approx 50Mbps Dual boot on linux -- XP speed <= 1Mbps Now this applies regardless of transport ie. I have tried smb FTP NFS, I have been tweaking the smb performance which did improve it though not beyond the figures above http://www.dd.iij4u.or.jp/~okuyamak/Documents/tuning.english.html However I cannot believe that this is the best that can be acheieved ie. it would not be acceptable in an enterprise environment yet smb servers are used with windows clients in such places so my question is, where am I not looking? Could it be the nic driver? or setup of same ? or something obvious I am not looking at? Any pointers at places of investigation are welcome. stu -- "There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, those who don't" --Unknown -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
