Is this expected behavior? This is not the behavior I'm seeing, so perhaps you are experiencing something different. ? In my case I can copy to or from my linux box to the xp box fast. From the XP to linux copy to or from is dog slow. ?? I've just spent the last 2 hours digging around on sites and so far coming up with zero. I DID see where XP SP1 "may" fix the issue. Not sure yet.
