[Samba] Win2k Performance Problems

[billing]

Change your nic card in your server. That is your bottleneck as that is
serving you at about 3-4mb. Rule of thumb on how 10mb cards work effectivley
is at about 3-4m of throughput. A 10/100 nic card will do between 20-40
based on nic hub/switch etc.

Server is 10 MB, client is 100 MB. Switch is 10/100 MB.
