Very poor writing performance

[David Brodbeck]

Do you see the same slowdown with FTP?

If so, check your network, especially the duplex setting on both machines'
ethernet cards.  They should all be half duplex if they're talking to a hub.
Having one card in full duplex will often cause exactly the symptoms you
describe.

Hi;

I am using Samba 2.2.0 on a small business network (192.168.1.x). I am
running
Suse 7.2 on a pentium pro 120. This machine is also the local gateway (isdn)
using
masquarading. I have a 10 Mbs utp network.

I am experiencing an extreme difference in read and write speed over the
samba server.
Writing from a windows machine (windows 98se) to the linux box gives me data
rates of approx 16 kByte/sec, reading from the linux box to the windows
machine
is near 1 MByte/sec. 

Using smbclient on the linux box, the situation is as bad.

Any ideas on how to fix this or how to do more elaborate tests?

Thanks.
