Re: netbios slow file sharing

what kind of speeds are we talking about?
also depends on the speed of your wifi and harddisks.

Sharing files over wi-fi normally does take ages. Even with brilliant signal. Never seems to be anywhere near 54mbps, even with full signal.

Re: netbios slow file sharing

hard drives are standard maxtor 7200rpm, wifi is 54mbps (i think) for eg im transferring a 3gb file takes about 1-2hrs, when i first set this up i was transferring 2-3 gb files in 30 mins now for some reason its slowing down. accessing the net is no probs jus transfer of files is annoying
