Hi |

I have a home LAN with a mix of dual boot, XP and Gentoo[<-- mine]. |
| 4 |
Now the basic problem is this :- |
| 5 |
Transfer of file [eg. 200Mb] |
| 6 |
Dual boot on XP -- XP speed approx 50Mbps |
| 7 |
Dual boot on linux -- XP speed <= 1Mbps |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Now this applies regardless of transport ie. I have tried smb FTP NFS, |
| 10 |
I have been tweaking the smb performance which did improve it though |
| 11 |
not beyond the figures above |

However I cannot believe that this is the best that can be acheieved |
| 15 |
ie. it would not be acceptable in an enterprise environment yet smb |
| 16 |
servers are used with windows clients in such places so |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
my question is, where am I not looking? |
| 19 |
Could it be the nic driver? |
| 20 |
or setup of same ? |
| 21 |
or something obvious I am not looking at? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Any pointers at places of investigation are welcome. |
