I'll try this now. No reboot. It took effect immediately. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

My Samba line is *much* smaller than my Win line. 14:04:33.766520 IP Win.4926 > Samba.microsoft-ds: P 631:719(88) ack 538 win 32931 14:04:33.766635 IP Samba.microsoft-ds > Win.4926: P 538:642(104) ack 719 win 686 Looks like my Samba is 686 and my Win is 32931. That seems really lopsided. I expected the Samba side to be larger. What does the 'P' mean?

[Samba] Speed vs Windows systems issue
Hello, I've a CentOS-5 system (kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14el5) SMP arch running samba-3.0.27a. A user reported extremely long load time (11 minutes) of a 43MB file across a 3Mb/sec WAN link. Copying the same file to a windows server and opening it from there on the same client system took about 2:30. Research found the below thread from April: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2007-April/131096.html I made the same registry changes to the client system and the socket options change to the server that were mentioned in the posts and tried it again. This time the load speed from the Samba server was 1:30, faster than the Windows system... which is as *should* be! ;) When the load times were slow I had no socket options entry at all in the smb.conf file (per recent discussions on the list about them being counter-productive). Since we've got about 500 systems here I would really rather not do the registry change on all of them if there is a way to change something on the Samba server to make this work. Can someone give the lowdown on what is going on here (or a hint about where to find it if it's already been explained)? Thanks for your time. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
