In reply to some suggestions : I did 'mii-tool -v', result : eth0: negotiated 100baseT4 flow-control, link ok product info: vendor 1f:ff:df, model 63 rev 15 basic mode: loopback, isolate, collision test, autonegotiation enabled basic status: autonegotiation complete, remote fault, link ok capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD advertising: 100baseT4 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control link partner: 100baseT4 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control I tried 'mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0' and then 'mii-tool -v', but this gave the same result. Also 'mii-tool -r' resulted in the same. Or should I restart the network (how do you do this, without rebooting ?) ? 'cat /proc/net/dev' gave no errors, no collisions, just like 'ifconfig' did. The NIC seems to be a SiS900, on board. I tried 'socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=32768 SO_SNDBUF=32768' in the Samba-config, to no avail. Did anyone notice my remark that downloading a file is fast (less than two minutes for the 162Mb), uploading is slow ? John Birkhead wrote:
