[Samba] Slow transfer file between Windows and Samba PDC (2.2 .3a)

Found this in the Network Admin Guide -
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/ch05.html#X-087-2-IFACE.IFCONFIG

"Receiver overruns usually occur when packets come in faster than the kernel
can service the last interrupt."

I think you definitely have a problem with your NIC on the Samba machine.  I
would swap it out and/or change the cable and see if that cures things.  By
the sound of that explanation above it could also be something like a PCI
driver problem or a negotiation mismatch?

Well, it's the first thing I've thought, but this means I have *three*
bad switch port.
I have this in the customer card (eth0):
RX packets:3969314 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:6980 frame:0

No errors, but some overruns. Try to get some information about this,
but nothing related to samba.

I'll do a new post with "home status" and this overruns problem. I've
forgotten this fact when I write my post

Many thanks for your reply :)
