Is there a utility one can use to speedup network traffic? I'm on a 100 base TX LAN and transfers to/from my mythbox are around 400 k/sec. Transfers to/from other boxes are on the order of 3-4 megs/sec.
Thanks for any info

You can use mii-tool to check what speed/media the card is set as. You can google for details on mii-tool. ethtool is another utility that can be used but isn't included (apt-get). More info on your NIC would be helpful as this maybe a kernel bug. |

I'm using the onboard NIC (Asus A7N8X-VM). Here's the details from the manual (helpful or not?): Realtek 8201BL PNY 10/100 Mbps. Here's the output from mii-tool: Code: root@mythtv:/home/mythtv# mii-tool -v
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported no MII interfaces found |

Code: apt-get update
apt-get install ethtool ethtool eth0 |

Done, here's the output (it looks okay to me): Code: root@mythtv:/# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: externel Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: d Link detected: yes |

Seems as though the problem is in SAMBA. I restarted it and now my transfer speeds to a win32 box are as follows: 1.2 gig file via SAMBA --> 157 secs (7.8 megs/sec) 1.2 gig file via ftp --> 108 seconds (11.3 megs/sec) Dunno what to say. As always, thank you for your assistance, cesman
