[Samba] Odd transfer speed issue

[Kimon Gazis]

Your description reminds me of an issue recently posted here

http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20080105.173431.794e465f.de.html

In contrast to your issue we describe a problem arising only in
downstream direction to the XP client.

In your case are you sure it is really in both directions? Have you
tried with native shares served by windows servers?

cheers
