You keep mentioning all your hardware specs but what counts most: THE NIC > only 1 switch which is 1 GB supported and linsys switch 48 port > manageable L2 switch Does it support jumbo frames? Post model# please. > standard windows share/samba i think it uses TCP (not sure) Samba uses TCP because its protocol is CIFS/SMB, which use TCP. Samba doesn't speak TCP. CIFS/SMB are two layers up the OSI stack. They you can't "tune" Samba's network performance. You can only tune Linux' TCP performance, and Samba will benefit. You're asking a technical question on a technical mailing list. Please always post all technical details related to an issue. Thus far you have not. As a rule, it's better to post too much information that not enough. Thanks. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
