all the NICs are set to half duplex 10Mbit

ok, here are the type of network cards.. 

Server Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 +
Cliant 3Com 905b

FTP speed is good, as I said, if I am at the server and initiate the data
transfer from the server, it is fast.  

I think I have tracked down the problem though.  even though it may not
look like it, I think that the 3com NIC is bad.  I put a 10 baseT only
Realtek card in a cliant, and it works fine.. Is there any known problems
with 3COM 905b's running at 10 Mbits and SAMBA.  anyway, I think I will
buy Intel NICs from now on.. I have had good luck with them in the past.
Dont know what got into me to get the 3Com stuff, but anyway.

Thanks for the help
