I remebering checking the BIOS before I installed the system, and I don't remeber anything about DMA on the Network adapter, but I'll have another look when I can. The thing is, wouldn;t a DMA issue limit teh FTP to 1.5 MB/s as well as samba?
You have a compaq ppro 200 somewhere? Cool... If you get around to doing some tests let me know what you get! If you're doing a fresh install try it with XFS (you must pass xfs to the kernel at the instalation boot prompt), if you have trouble detecting all of your memory at boot up (I did) try passing [EMAIL PROTECTED], where XX is the amount of memory the kernel detected and xxx is your total memory minus the amount detected.

I have a 100Mbps network, which can yeild a maximum tranfer rate of 12

realise that more than 11 MB/s is bearing on the impossible. Using both
the desktop and the laptop I got nearlly 11 MB/s, one was 10,11 the
other was 10,72. Using FTP I got 9,96 and 9,69. With the proliant I get
a max of 1.6 MB/s, the same as I get with my IBM machine (acting as a
firewal/gateway) which has RedHat 7.2...
Wow, 1.5mb/sec vs 10mb/sec. That's a big difference. I doubt a network card would fix the issue. If you have been watching Top and your HI and LO CPU states haven't been high (> 40%), then I don't think you are having an issue getting information to/from the NIC.
You know what, I think I have a Compaq machine somethwere with a Pentium Pro 200mhz CPU in it. It's not the same machine as what you have but it might be worth me setting it up and running some tests. Tonight I'll run down to my storage and see what I have.
Have you verified all your BIOS settings? I know you have checked this but I was limited to 1.5mb/sec when I was having DMA issues.
