<br>Ryan, <br><br>Have you tried other file-transfer protocols? i.e., ftp or copying a file using ssh or rsync? If those were fast while SMB was slow, then debugging service-configs would be the place to look. If those are slow too, look at the physical layer. I know you're using an airport extreme, but are you hooked up to it with physical cables or is everything going wireless? I suspect you have wired connections but if not that does change things a bit. <br>
<br>When you tried your direct connection that failed to work, were you using a cross-over cable? <br><br>While your description of your setup was pretty good, there are still points of ambiguity - if the problem still exists after your next round of debugging draw a picture of your network config. <br>

look at the "socket options" in smb.conf i have mine set as:<br>
<br>
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192<br>
<br>
i would also check the duplex and auto-neg setting on the samba server.<br>
i would hard set them as well.<br>
<br>
my 2 cents.<br>
