[Samba] How to speed up Samba From Mac OS 10.6 to access Windows Share under W2K3

[Kostic, Jacques]

Hi Volker,

Pleeease be nice ;-)

A normal network between one XP  and one W2K3 server with a giga bit switch in the midle produce more that 400Mb/ sec transfer rate.

If I just replace the XP by my iMac with Samba connecting to the W2K3 I am getting less than 15Mb/Sec...

I mean if I could have an explanation or help to optimize samba...

Many thanks
jko

iMac is the client, Windows is the server? If I got you right, there is not much any Samba forum can do here. Please contact your friendly Apple or Microsoft support :-)
