Ok here is what is happening.
When I try to transfer files from my samba server to my linux boxes I only get 4MB/s transfer speed. However from all my Windows boxes i get about 8MB/s.
I have even taken on of my boxes that had Gentoo tried it and got 4MB/s, then I booted into knoppix and I got the same results. However when I booted the same PC into Win2k I wa able to get 8MB/s. Why is this?
NOTE: all the systems are are running samba3, even the server.
