Slow network transfers.

[doggammit76]

Is it me or is it a fact that file transfer between a linux machine and Win2000 is dog slow.

I used smbclient to pull a 96.4MB file from my Win2000 machine. It took almost 30mins.Is there something that I have to tweak or adjust for it to go faster? If so, do pray tell me what and where should I do it. My grasp of the Linux structure isnt that strong.

Config....
PC 1
AMD 1G
654MB RAM
Intel NIC 10/100 BaseT (the one connected to the linux box)
Windows 2000 Pro
The gateway for home network.
Internet sharing with Proxy+

PC2
Compaq Evo Notebook
P3 1G
256MB RAM
Xircom PCMCIA 10/100BaseT
Linux Redhat 8
Connected to server via crossed cable

Information is free....dont hog it!
