Hello and thank for yore help because i need it can any one tell me why my samba server transfers at speed of 5mb/s and slower ? this is a ridiculously slow speed as my network run's at 100mps. i was thinking maby its the way im sharing them with user share instead of file share. i have checked the card is a 100mps card and all the other servises run just as slow i even took of aloada services and it made no difference. its a 500mhz machine with 32mb or ram wif no gui why is it funing this slow should i change to a older OS like redhat 7.1 or is FC1 ok??? yore help would be greatly appreciated - Jonathan Christison
