We recently resolved an issue with a few 10.6 Macs in our environment that were experiencing very slow network speeds (a few KB/s) when browsing or opening files on our samba servers, and I just wanted to share our solution in case anyone else sees this problem.
We had to create sysctl.conf and nsmb.conf files and place them in /etc on the client Macs. After a reboot, the speeds were back to what we expected from our network. Macwindows.com has more information on this fix: http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopard-filesharing.html#091709k I've included the contents of these conf files below: Nsmb.conf ------ [default] streams=no soft=yes domain=XXX notify_off=yes port445=no_netbios ------ Sysctl.conf ------ net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0 ------ Nathan Friedl Systems Analyst/Programmer - Weinberg IT n...@northwestern.edu<mailto:n...@northwestern.edu> 847-467-6845 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
