FN-FORUM: slow file copy

date posted 3rd May 2007 19:42

Hi,
I'm having real trouble with copying files over a 1gb network to a
Buffallo terastation. I think though it's actually the SBS2003 install
which is causing the problem. I've read various articles on disabling
SMB as the terastation doesn't support it and I don't really need it but
it's all still running slow.

The server is an HP ML360 G5 1U rack job. 2.0ghz Xeon with 2mb running
SBS2003. I've got the latest network drivers for it just in case that
was the problem but it's still very very slow.

The terastation is just on a workgroup not the domain.

I've another SBS2003 server (different domain) also connected to it and
it runs at full tilt, as does copying from my laptop.

HELP !!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
Andy
