smbclient put 1/100 of the speed only

What are the windows TCP/IP settings (ie, MTU, RWIN, etc)?  I have 
a similar setup at home (cheapo ne2000 clones & coax); I get a 
little over 500k/sec with ftp and a little over 400k/sec via smb 
(averaged both ways).  The speed.txt docs mention a "threshold" 
RWIN value (about 3072 or so).  I had big performance problems when 
the windoze client was set at MTU=576, RWIN=2144 (previously 
optimized for DUN connections).  When I bumped the RWIN setting up 
to 4288 things started working much better.  Your mileage may 
vary...
