Network, 3C589D, AmiTCP, and SMBFS
« on: September 29, 2007, 11:42:45 AM »
Hi folks,
As you know, SMBFS allows the Amiga to access other shared drives on a network, but it doesn't allow the amigas drives themselves to be shared.

The problem is, on my A1200 Blizzard 1230 system, pulling files from a PC (In this case a 1Ghz XP system) is fairly fast, but pushing files from the Amiga to the PC system is awfully slow. All the files, including the tiny .info files that the Amiga uses, take at least 1-2 seconds each.

I’m not sure whether this will affect anything much, but there’s 3 hubs in a chain in between the A1200 and the PC - But at the time of file transfer no other computers are plugged into the network.
I use the "stack 40000" command with SMBFS so presumably memory on the Amiga wouldn't be such a big problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Hodgkinson.

Thanks for the reply, Piru!

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
