Hi guys,
This might not be that Linux related but it does involve a Linux machine :-)
Sorry if you are not interested but here it is:
I have a weird Duron 800MHz machine (with K7T turbo Limited Edition mainboard,
10Gb harddisk and 256Mb RAM) running Windows XP. I also have a small 100Mbps
LAN. The server is a AMD Athlon 600MHz and running Samba on Linux.
But every time when i download some stuffs from the server it is rediculously
slow. I checked Task Manager and its only using 2-5% of the bandwidth.
Funny thing is that when i upload files to the server it seems to be fine,
50%+ bandwidth were used. I used iperf to check the connection and the result
was ok. I even tried to transfer some files from a different computer to the
server and the speed was reasonable. I copied some files on the dodgy machine
locally and its fine too. I checked that the network card had a up to date
driver... If i remember correctly i used to have a different NIC and had
the same problem.
Any thoughts please, because i am dying to know why
