Re: [PLUG] SAMBA -to- Win2K 802.11b issue

strangely, uploading doesn't seem to be a problem and downloading from the cable modem doesn't seem to be an issue either - only going within my lan - i guess the samba server is pushing data at 100Mbits and the 802.11b is only able to receive at 11Mbits (yeah right), but shouldn't the router and/or server be able throttle the data transfer? what would happen if this was a 10Mbit ethernet on a 10/100 hub?

thanks

moving large files over 802.11 is tough.  I have a D-Link, and if I try to push too much bandwidth it crashes.  This happens regardless of the OS it is running under.  When I want to move large files, I use my 10/100 PCMCIA (3Com).  You may want to try moving the files with an application that you can throttle the bandwidth.

Subject: [PLUG] SAMBA -to- Win2K 802.11b issue

i just got an SMC wireless PCMCIA card for my win2K/RH7.2 laptop, i have an SMC wireless broadband router. connecting to the router from wireless seems to work - web brousing is fine and uploading from laptop to SAMBA server seems fine - however, trying to get large files off Samba stalls. anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

thanks
