[Samba] Poor performance on open/copy/close/rename file operations via remote/VPN connection

[gianfranco pra floriani]

hello Dave,
I'm still trying to understand how to check all the traffic with 
ethereal (now wireshark) as you wrote a few days ago.
I had some troubles installing wirshark server side so now i'm doing the 
tests from a client (XP).
Now, I will also check out your suggestion to use tun0.
If I remember, I chose tap because I'm using server-bridge (same subnet) 
and not routing for VPN.
However, I had the same performance issues when using the router client 
VPN connecting to the router's (hardware config) VPN.
I will let you know.
Thank you so much for your advices.
