Hi, In last few days I noticed that read speed of samba has gone down to 320Kbytes per second but write speed is ok (around 9Mbytes per second). This is on a 100MBPS LAN. The LAN card I am using on Linux is sone Intel Pro Dual card (I am using this machine as router + firewall). I can provide more info if asked for, as currently I do not know what else to say. e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.2.3-k2-NAPI Regards from VJ
