[NBLUG/talk] Samba running slow...

[Todd Cary]

Coy -

I should have thought of that test myself!  FTP is showing the same 
problem: PC->Linux for a 8 MB file is running at ~500 Kbps; Linux->PC is 
instantaneous (too fast to measure).

Here is the routing table.
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt 
Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 
eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 
eth0

Is this correct?  My Linux 9 For Dummies says that it should be

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt 
Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 
eth0
