I have a XP, ME and Linux computer set up as Peer-to-Peer network. All have 100MB FD NIC cards through a 100MB FD Linksys Switch. I did not realize how poor the transfer speed was between the Windows computers was until I put the Linux PC on the network... it runs approx 3 times faster on file transfers. Funny though, as the Linux box is the slowest PC I have. Sandra Network Benchmark shows everything to be ok. XP to/from WinME :9698kB's per sec XP to/from Linux :8500kB's per sec In real life, transferring a 230MB file it takes 3 minutes between the windows computers and approx 1 min from either XP/ME computer to/from the Linux PC! Computer Specs are as follows: Linux PC P233MMX, 96MB SDRAM HD=WDC 3.2GB, 5400RPM/UDMA33 XP PC Cel900, 512MB SDRAM HD=MAX 20GB, 7200RPM/UDMA66 ME PC Cel700, 256MB SDRAM HD=WDC 10GB, 5400RPM/UDMA66 Anyone have any ideas? Protocol is TCP/IP with SMB to the Linux box. NETBIOS is OFF.
