Anders,

Have you tried any other protocols? scp? ftp?

My guess is they all be slow and you have a basic networking issue.

For instance, I've seen a full duplex client talking to a half duplex server cause just the kind of slowdown your talking about. All the devices on the network need to be set the same.

Greg, Everything is set to full duplex everywhere.. Then there are lots of other options in the network settings in Win7 that I honestly don't have a clue to what they are.. At least reading from the server is better now for some reason, close to 55MB/s, but writing to the Samba server is still around 1-1.5MB/s. Writing from Win XP is running at about 50MB/s to the Samba server isn't the problem. I also watched the smb process on the server when writing, just 1-2% CPU time and not much memory. The RAID LED indicators flashes with 3-5 seconds intervals, so it's not loaded down either. I'm certain it's a setting in Win7 that causes this, the question is what..
