Samba/two Win2K machines

[Martin Hepworth]

Patrick

doing this over a 10mbs half duplex network will give lots of collisions 
(a half duplex network uses one set of wires to communicate both ways - 
hence you get collisions as both machines try to talk at the same time.

Also the smb protocal isn't very efficient so a long time like this 
isn't unexpected even if running 100mbs!

Prob best way if to spend a few (insert local currency) and buy a small 
100mbs switch which will help esp if you're network cards can run 100mbs.
