Have a look at the samba technical mailing list. http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/033899.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/033901.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/033902.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/033903.html Do you have the same problems? As far as Richard Sharpe (samba and ethereal developer) helped me we traced it down that this must be a Linux TCP kernel bug with Fedora. It depends also on the acpi/apmd settings of the kernel. Also a strange behaviour: When sniffing with ethereal on the linux machine and looking at the trace with X11 remotly from the Windows machine (update packets in real time), performance is ok!!!!! Which mainboard and network adapter do you use? Also putty looses ssh connections. Ciao, Gerhard
