hi again.
u always can configure a smb to PDC, u do not have to use this features. 
- if u access with w2k *without* joining the domain, it's functional at 
all. - but i'll send u an example look down.

the speed, how a 10mb file is copied through a lan differs extremly with 
hardware. - if u want to check your hardware/infrastructure, try following:

on linux/(unix):
ifconfig gives information about lost packets. e.g. 'ifconfig eth0'
if u want to stress the connection use:
'ping -fs 10000' - abort with 'Ctrl+C'
then u see, how many packets are lost.

if u have a stable connection, u should find something like this in your 
output:
ifconfig:
           RX packets:5857030 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:8054607 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
=============================^^^^^^^^^=========^^^^^^^^^^^^
ping:
2670 packets transmitted, 2670 received, 0% loss, time 7096ms
========================================^^^^^^^^^^

can u check, if your network is running stable?

i found two little lines, i would ask, if u need them?
 >>>        remote announce = 192.168.0.255
 >>>        remote browse sync = 192.168.0.255
as i look into man smb.conf i don't think so (192.168.0 is your main 
segment?)



now here's an (minimal) smb.conf 4 w2k, without joining a domain.

[global]
    server string = <your server comment>
    workgroup = <your workgroup>
    guest account = nobody
    keep alive = 30
    os level = 65
    security = users
# u can also use share without user,
#or domain if u have a PDC - butt refer HOWTO...
    encrypt passwords = yes # need 4 w2k - create user with smbpasswd...
    netbios name = <your servername>

#   printing = lprng
    printing = cups # depends on your printing system.
    printcap name = /etc/printcap
    load printers = yes
#   socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=16348 SO_RCVBUF=16348
    map to guest = Bad User
    local master = yes
    wins support = no
    domain logons = no
    domain master = no

    #maybe this will help with different programm problems...
    dos filetime resolution = yes
    dos filetimes = yes

  [cdrom]
    comment = Linux CD-ROM
    path = /mnt/cdrom
    read only = yes
    locking = no

  [floppy]
    comment = Linux CD-ROM
    path = /mnt/floppy
    read only = no
    locking = no

  [printers]
    comment = All Printers
    browseable = no
    printable = yes
    public = yes
    read only = no
    create mode = 0666
    path = /tmp

[test]
   comment = share fuer testzwecke
   writable = yes
   path = /netzwerk/windows/test
   create mode = 0661
   directory mode = 2771
   force user = nobody

have a lot of fun
