[Samba] Odd transfer speed issue

[Stuart Gall]

Hi Will,
Did you get anywhere with this ?

I have this exact same problem on one system Debian 4.0r2
I can download with http super fast.
Access from linux using mount.cifs is fast. Access from OSX is fast.
ONLY access from windows is slow
I have an older samba box on the same network it is fine.
I built 3.0.28 from source with async io , still no good.
Made hundreds of tweaks the smb.conf nothing I do makes any differance.

Wierder . . . I set up another file-server today same NIC same  
motherboard same version of debian - no problems.

I am going to go mad
