The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Samba is running so slow, How can I bump up the speed ?

Asked by henry007 in Unix Networking

Tags: samba, slow

I'm running Sco OSR 5.0.7 with SAMBA v3.0.14a, my LAN is running at 100mbits/sec. So even at 4 feet from the server I'm getting slow responses on my windoze xp computer from samba. It takes an eternity to copy files from one place to the other. I'm also running another samba server on a linux box on the same LAN but on a different workgroup and seems to work ok. Or is it maybe a bottle neck somewhere in the HUB that sits between my computer and the server (4 feet) ? Is there a good software that detects bottle necks on a LAN or can create charts of currently availble IP's and tells the speed between them ?

Here's my current samba configuration (full view):
