Hm. Try CIFS then. Has some bugs still, tho, but is twice as fast as smbfs
here.
(But rtl8169 sucks anyway :) )

That's because Realtek 8169 sucks royally. German readers might wanna check
test results in c't 4/2004. (or 3?)
8169 failed every test: thruput, stability, CPU usage.

Avoid Realtek NICs wherever you can.
   

If FTP is fast and Samba is slow, I doubt the problem is the NIC.  If the
NIC were at fault FTP would be slow, too.
 

Hm, ok, that´s a very good point :) Nevertheless,  I´d avoid Realtek ---
maybe a test about NIC related problems can be made by replacing the
Realtec by some good 10/100er NIC that might be at hand. If the other
card is running at full speed, it´s very likely the NIC causing the
problems.

If FTP is fast and Samba is slow, I doubt the problem is the NIC.  If the
NIC were at fault FTP would be slow, too.

So we are all talking apples to apples...

1) What size file(s)?  (One BIG 100MB file, or 100 1MB files?)
2) How to you calculate the xxMB/sec?
3) Do you get the same results both directions?
   3a) copy \\server\share\bigfile c:\
   3b) copy c:\bigfile \\server\share

I can then check my xfer rates to see if I am or am not having
similar results.

THANKS,
Mike

I don't have any clues, but I have the exact same problem. Also with a RTL8169 card. 
Same
effect, although on a SuSE box.
