[Samba] Performance Problem

[fzarnitz at gmx.net]

Hello,

I have a severe performance problem when connecting a M$-Client PC with a
Bootdisk and TCP/IP-Stack to my Samba server.
Both machines are linked via a 100Mbit crosslink connection.
The server is running a SuSE Linux 7.2 with Kernel 2.4.19, the smb-fs and
the NIC is compiled into the kernel.
The Client uses a DOS 6.2 bootdisk with the M$ TCPIP-stack version 1.02.
All M$ drivers load fine, the 'net use' command works too.
Then I start Symantecs 'ghost' to create an image from the clients HD and
put it to the used Samba share on the server.
The Performance is poooor (<1Mbyte/min), tests with a W2K server on the same
hardware showed better values (>200Mbyte/min)   :-(  .
What can I do to improve this poor samba throughput???

Regards
Ferdi
