Hi,

Be warned - I am a total newbie when it comes to Linux...

However, I have recently installed Red Hat 9, and I am trying to get filesharing to work between my Linuxbox and my Xp-Pro machine.

Everything seems fine. I can browse and share files over the network through Samba, but problem is that transferring files is extremely slow.

Downloading files from the internet is at top speeed, though, on both machines.

I am using a switch with a DSL connection.
I had no problems back when both machines ran XP.

I would be very grateful for any advice....

Here' s my SMB.conf:

[global]

workgroup = hjemme
server string = mortens pc
netbios name = zardoz
security = SHARE
os level = 255
preferred master = no
local master = no
domain master = no
wins support = yes
guest ok = yes
guest account = sisse
encrypt passwords = yes
remote announce = 80.160.127.243
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
shared mem size = 6291456
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 IPTOS_LOWDELAY
max xmit = 65535

[firstshare]
path = /usr/public
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
read only = no
