S-L-O-W File copying to Server

« on: March 23, 2002, 03:44:57 PM »

Hi,

Anyone comment ?

I can copy files from server/ibay to my Laptop, no problem there !

When I try and copy back it takes an age . . .

Like 10 mins for the same file that just took 10 secs !

Anyone shed any light on whats happening ?

Thanks !

I encountered similar problems. My Laptop uses a 10MBit NIC and was connected to a 10/100MBit switch. When I connected using an old 10MBit hub everything was fine again... Seems as if my switch had a problem with slower cards. May be it's similar with your setup.

Hi !

This was first with NO hub (ie Cross Over Cable !)

Then I tried a 10Mb hub and straight thru cables !

Am going to take Samba box upstairs and plug into my main PC
and 100Mbit LAN to see what happens !

Thanks for input !

I noticed the same problem trying to use symantec Ghost to image a drive to the E-smith server. S...L....O....W.... Sorry I have no suggestions, just wanted you to know you weren't crazy.

Your problems are most like caused by duplex mismatch. I bet you're using auto negotiate to figure whether to go full, or half duplex.
This causes an unbelieveable amount of problems in the networking world.
FORCE your cards to one of the four options and test each until it works properly. Easy with windows boxes, buggered if I know how to do it on anything else.
