Greetings all,

We recently upgraded our LAN to gigabit speed. When using iperf to test
the network connection between my Ubuntu desktop and a SLES10 server I
get 939 Mbit/sec.

Scp gives me about 16 MByte/sec copying a 1.6 GB file. I would expect
Samba to be faster.

Gnome (nautilus) network browser gives me about 3.5 MByte/sec. This is a
little harder to determine because I have top use a stop watch to time
the copy.

smbclient gives me about 47 MB/sec.

Windows XP Pro (100 Mbit link) gives me about 8 MByte/sec.

Windows Vista (1000 Mbit link) gives me about 8 MByte/sec.

I know that Samba is capable of decent speeds as seen by smbclient. How
do I get those kind of speeds from Windows clients? Specifically Windows
Vista.

Amy ideas?

Thanks,
James
