SAMBA poor performance

[Marco Maccaferri]

Hi,

I've recently noticed an extremely poor performance when trasfering 
files from Linux to a Windows XP notebook using samba. The notebook is 
using a wireless connection so I initially tought about some 
interferences from nearby devices but I can transfer up to 300KB/sec. 
from the internet so it isn't the wireless connection.

Transfering from Linux is running at 8-20KB/sec., it wasn't that slow 
initially, unfortunately I don't use samba so often to know when it 
started to degrade. I tried some suggestions found on the web without 
any effect.

I'm still using Fedora 10/x86_64 and can't update in the near future, 
samba version is 3.2.15-0.36.

Any suggestion ?

Regards,
Marco.
