One way Win98 Slowness fixed

[Tom Savage]

>From the day I installed Samba, I was having a severe slow transfers from my
linux Samba server to my Win98 system. I could only get about 7.5k/sec transfer
rates by ftp from my server to  my Win98 system. Transfers the other way were
fast and  normal. I tried all  kind of settings in Samba(smb.conf) to no avail.
I had been looking through the archives of some of the samba list but could not
find a solution there.

Needless to say, I stumbled  on the solution today:
After I set my Windows 98 IPMTU settings to 1500, all transfers both ways are
fast now! To change my IPMTU settings I applied a patch(reg file).
I got the information from here:

I hope this help someone.
