Hi All --
Well, I am kinda at the end of my rope here... I have
just setup a new Win2k server on a re-deployed Dell Power
Edge 2300. The system is config'd as follows:
Dell PowerEdge 2300
1 x 500 MHZ PIII
1 GB RAM
3 x 18 GB drives on the included PERC2 RAID for the OS
4 x 250 GB SATA drives on new Promise SATA RAID for file
sharing.
The system acts as a DC for our network (AD is pretty
small as we are only ~300 users.)
The system is then only used for filesharing -
specifically for Mac's (8 G4 Quicksilvers) in our design
dept. The only share on the system is a Mac file share on
the Promise RAID array. (i.e. F:\macVolume\ is shared
as 'macVolume').
Not sure if it can get any more vanilla.
My problem is this - we have great file transfer speed
when copying data to the server. Copying files down to a
desktop however is REALLY BAD if it copies at all. It
could take up to an hour to copy a 64 KB file from the
server to a Mac desktop. (all Mac's have the MS UAM for
OS X and are talking on AFP). Oddly enough - if I connect
with my WinXP workstation to an ADMIN$ share or
something, I can copy files back and forth w/o any
trouble.
So here is what I have done...
Swapped out netowrk cables on the clients and the servers.
Swapped ports on switches.
Swapped switches.
Tried using SMB from a Mac
Tried trasferring files to/from a share not on the
Promise array.
Disabled antivirus software (Trend Micro Server Protect)
Really it seems like everything I do I still have the
same trouble. Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks in advance...
David
