Here was the solution to my slow file-transfer problem from Scott. I coincidentally did have a HP Procurve 4000m (what are the chances), ended up swapping out the switch and presto. I can't believe I didn't try it before. Thanks again Scott.
Here are some links I researched previous to this though that may help you. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-August/msg03799.html http://www.dd.iij4u.or.jp/~okuyamak/Documents/tuning.english.html Also if you google "slow samba" there are a plethora of discussions on it: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=slow+samba&btnG=Google+Search Good luck. Bret I had a similar problem in the past and the problem was I locked the NIC and I think the switch (HP Procurve 4000M I think) at 100Mb/full. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Changing the ifconfig to auto-config and the hub as well resolved the issue. This is a known documented issue with the link negotiation architecture from what I remember. There was a HP whitepaper on it. Scott... Scott Burns NETCON Technologies Inc.
