Hi all.
A week ago I started a thread about samba and
ftp being very slow (5k /sec) but not netatalk.
Clients were Macs and W95. FTP fine from Macs
very slow from W95.
Some suggestions were made about network
card buffers - or the lack of - being the problem
with ne200 clones ed0 cards.
Thanks!
The following option has made a twentyfold improvement
for the W95 client:
max xmit = 8192
Main problem solved.
FTP is *still* slow from the W95 machine so it must
be the W95 machine's card. I'll live with that.
Note that the samba docs advise this option only for
speeding up W 3.1 clients.
Eddie.
