Hi,
I've recently noticed an extremely poor performance when trasfering
files from Linux to a Windows XP notebook using samba. The notebook is
using a wireless connection so I initially tought about some
interferences from nearby devices but I can transfer up to 300KB/sec.
from the internet so it isn't the wireless connection.
Transfering from Linux is running at 8-20KB/sec., it wasn't that slow
initially, unfortunately I don't use samba so often to know when it
started to degrade. I tried some suggestions found on the web without
any effect.
I'm still using Fedora 10/x86_64 and can't update in the near future,
samba version is 3.2.15-0.36.
Any suggestion ?

yes, prove it...
Comparing your Internet speeds is not the same thing.
Try transferring a large file via scp or ftp or sftp and comparing that
with the samba connection. (WinSCP is freely available for your Windows
laptop).
I would bet that the speeds are the same samba & scp and that samba is
not at all the issue but this is the surest way to know.
