Server 10.3.2 slow copying from server to Client machine

[Anonymous]

I am experimenting slow copying of files 10 minutes for a 28 Mb file from our server to a local machine. I’ve tried that at home with 10.3.2 Client and to took just seconds.

Is there anybody in this forum that know about how to set an AsantÈ FAST Ethernet 690.

I went in the System Preference and it was set to automatic. I set it manually with the mtu 1500 and full duplex. I haven’t been able to test that since I am 70 km from the office.

I remember in OS 9 once I’ve read about mtu problems and how to fix it, but I can’t recall any of it.

Before switching to 10.3.2 I never had any problems like this.

PS The server is a G4 500 Mz and the client is an iMac 600 Mz both running 10.3.2 and we have a 10/100 Mbits hub.

It turned out that I needed to upgrade the driver on the card.
The driver was out in september and since everything was working when I upgraded to OSX server 10.3.2.

It was just when I upgraded the iMac with Client OSX 10.3.2 that it was not working. Well it was working slowly. For small files that wasn’t making any difference but for bigger thing it was slow as hell.

Any way the problem is solved. I will check the drivers more closely from now on.
