Hello everyone:
Over the past few years I have been a happy samba user, running samba on
Redhat / FC platforms. Recently I upgraded hardware, and Samba hasn't been
performing well at all.. which makes me sad :-(
The new hardware is Asus P5B board with a dual-core intel processor. This
board has an onboard Realtek RTL8111/8168B gigabit ethernet controller,
which was a hassle to setup. FC6 default kernel 2.6.18-x doesn't have
drivers for it. Upgrading to the latest kernel 2.6.19-1 fixed that. Since
then I have verified that both web and ftp servers are functioning normally.
I use apache 2.2.3-5 and vsftpd 2.0.5-8. Downloading a 90MB file through
apache and vsftp takes less than 1.5 minutes on my local LAN (LinkSys WRTGL
router). However, if I mount a drive in XP and try to copy the same file
over samba.. it takes over 20-25 minutes---weird! I looked through several
online archives and suggestions.. however none seemed to work. So I decided
to ask for help here.. Please help!
Here are some details:
Samba Server:
Platform: Fedora Core 6 - kernel 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
Hardware: Asus P5B motherboard with on-board Realtek RTL8111/8168B
gigabit ethernet controller
Samba Client:
Windows XP Pro (SP2)
Router:

Note: FC6 kernel 2.6.19-x uses r8169 kernel modules for this realtek
ethernet controller..
