Hi!
Here's an update after further testing
So I changed the cable by a homemade one (of 2 factory-sealed coax
cables I've gotta change both!!! that dealer should be strangulated with
RG-58).
and no more TX packet errors, /proc/net/dev says all is good.
No sensible change in performance, what is normal, since I'm anyway
miles away from optimal throughput. Tested with smbclient get and put
w98--->lnx 730 kb/s
lnx--->w98 9.98 kb/s [!!!]
ftp is still doing 26kb/s in lnx--->w98 transfers
I swapped the netcards. same thing. Okay it's not a faulty netcard.
btw I tested the TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_NODELAY params in smb.conf, no
sensible change.
hava look at the tcpdumps:
lnx --->w98 [smbclient put] giving me 9.98 kb/s

--------------------------------------
I cannot see any error here... and there's a lot more packets exchanged
OK linux has a 32k window and w98 has a 8k one.
I'm for Clayton hypothesis that the problem is coming [as usual] from
the windoze side
Since windoze _can_ exchange data at higher rates (when talking to
windoze...) this appears like yet another stupid M$ move...
So the performance tuning is to be done on the w98 side if possible
(eeeekkk) that means wading thru the gelatinous M$ site in search of
some kind of info...
can I afford to install lnx in the workstations instead of w98? no,
gotta run a windoze db application in 'em. Maybe try wine? why not? in
some near future...
Anybody got a hint on how to tune the win98 (or 95) thing? I prefer
looking up this than getting stuck with a braindead NT fileserver...
thanks again,
M.K.
