by Hi. I have the following situation:
I installed a few days ago Redhat 7.1 in a pentium 233mhz/64megs RAM.
As I have alos in the same computer win2000 and win98 I downloaded a
new kernel an compiled with compatibility with NTFS and VFAT. I did
not forget to put SMB compatibility. I set up a little network with my
other computer: A win98/SE Pentium III/256 Ram. I setup Samba and it
works and all connections are at a fair speed (from Linux to win98
using "cp file /mnt/nhda1/file", from win98 to linux using the tools
in Windows and form linux to win98 also using the tools in Windows),
except when I try to copy one file from win98 to linux using linux: cp
/mnt/nhda1/file file. The transfer rate is so slow that it takes more
than 5 minutes to copy it.
I mount the file system in this way:
smbmount //Nuevo/C_Nuevo /mnt/nhda1 -o guest
Although I don't think the problem is in my smb.conf, I attach it
anyway:

# I take and put that out. It does not work with or without this file
