I have a SAMBA server (called Winchester) and we all connect to it here at work. It requires a route to get to it, and other than that it's pretty straightfoward.
One of the people in my group can connect to it, but any file copy SEEMS to take forever (a 300K file takes 2 minutes). Meanwhile, it takes 4 seconds for me.
I've noticed, though, that the file is finished copying awhile before windows explorer says so, because if i check the file in DOS, it will be completely there significantly before the file copy progress bar reaches 100%.
To diagnose the problem, I've tried about everything.
-Installed SP2 and windows updates
-Disable all software
-tried safe mode
-tried logging into his machine on my account (with the same results)
-checked all network configs (adding WINS servers certainly helped initial access times)
-checked route tables
I'm gonna throw a knoppix CD in there next and add the necessary route just to see if it's hardware related or not. But other than that, any ideas??
