Well I got it. And I have to apologize for my own stupidity. First off: SO_SNDBUF 8192
Well, if you miss the "=" in it, it cannot work. Doing that fixed my browsing issue. But I was back to 80 mins copy time for a 600 MB file. So I set it to 4096 and it was reduced to less than 10 mins. Thats how it looks like right now. Hope it doesn't change. I learned quite a lot through this. Guess I will stay on the list for a while and try to offer some of the knowledge I gained to make up for spaming you =) -- Benjamin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Benjamin Weber Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

It seems I have a rare case of where my problem is reversed to the common slow samba problem. My problem is this: I have a network of 3 PCs, one Linux 2 Windows XP. They are connected via a hardware router (switched) on the 190.190.1.0 network. On the linuxbox I have a collection of files that I want to access via the Windows PCs. This works fine, even fast (thanks to socket options). But now, if I want to browse the Windows PCs from Linux it takes ages to do so. I can get the listing of available shares via Linneighborhood real quick. Mounting works flawlessy. Then I open the mountpoint and it takes between 30secs to 4 minutes to open the share and display its contents. I noticed that if I am very fast and have a filebrowser ready, that after mounting the share I can browse at realtime speed for about 2 secs. After that the above behavior takes place, and even a directorylisting for a share with only 2 files takes 30 secs. This is true for both Windows XP PCs. Why does it work fine in the direction Windows->Linux but is horribly slow from Linux->Windows? Any help would be appreciated.
