I've been running Samba on a FreeBSD machine serving a number of Win95 machines and originally noticed the same behavior. I eventually determined that the FreeBSD machine was sending the large samba packets to the Win95 hosts so fast that is was overflowing the Win95 machines ethernet cards and hence a large number of retransmits were happening. I upgraded the ethernet cards in the Win95 machines and all is better now. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD <brian@mediacity.com> http[s]://www.mpress.com
