Samba share is incredibly SLOW

[bluesaphyer]

I am connecting windows vista to a directory on a fedora 10 server using samba. I am getting incredibly slow file transfer times. Only about 300KBps. I am pretty sure the problem is with windows or my samba configuration. I have the client machine dual booted with fedora and when I connect to the server using nfs it works great. I'm mapping the drive using the internal ip address of the server. This is my smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam

[nfs_fileshare]
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = Julie
path = /www/nfs_fileshare


Does anyone have any ideas why it could be so slow?

Try adding
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
to your smb.conf

Cheers!

nope, that actually seemed to make it worse!
