Wow, what a fast response. But I can't configure the switch (DLink DES-1024R+), everything is autonegotiated. Actually I have seen this in a previous thread, but since there is no way to configure the switch this is no solution. Is this OS dependant ? The rest of the servers (NT unfortunately) don't experience this. Is there a way to verify this ? Modify this in Linux ? John Birkhead wrote:
Hi, Being a SuSE newbie I don't know from the O/S perspective what the problem may be - however, check the duplex setting on the switch - it should match (either full or half) the setting from the card. This is supposed to be auto-negotiated but depending upon the mix of NIC and hub/switch this sometimes goes wrong...

Hi all, A while ago (a few weeks) I installed a sambaserver on a Suse 8.1 box. I thought it was ready for "production" but I found a problem. I managed to get winbind autenticate the users, but the response of making a networkconnection with Win-clients is rather slow. Today I tried to copy a file of 162Mb on it and this took about tree quarters of an hour. Any suggestions to diagnose this problem ? B.T.W. the switch (=hub-like device) indicates the NIC runs at 100Mb. TIA
