Jaguar's hiccups while browsing PC shares

[Dehuti]

As I observe Jaguar in work I'm still finding little hiccups while, for example, browsing shares of my PC with MAC. Jaguar slows down makes itself almost unusable. It does not make any sense for me while I'm working in 100MBPs enviroment (crossed-cable connection). Am I alone with that?

I just got some information from Developers site about fixes of SMB (look at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2053.html#TN001105)


Server Message Block, Microsoft's file sharing protocol for Windows.

* Socket read size was reduced from the full packet size to improve performance with remote clients (such as Windows, Linux and BSD). (r. 2917352).

* SMB now ignores windows shares ending in a dollar sign (e.g. c$) as these are administrative shares not intended for ordinary use. This is also windows client behavior for non-administrators. (r. 2899088).

* Problems that could occur when reading more than 128K at a time from a file on a SMB share have been corrected. (r. 2797032).

* A problem where the NSL browser could fail with SMB servers having names with no corresponding DNS host name has been corrected. (r. 2787668).

* SMB browsing is only supported on the local subnet. .



I think that will solve my problem.
