description says it all. my smb access is extremly slow.
when i have and file downloading on my pc, speed is great, songs play almost instantly.
does anybody have any ideas why this would be? i have the latest cvs(4-26). .
does anybody have any ideas?
it's actually when i'm downloading anything that speed is fine. if the computer isn't constantly receiving data from the internet it is slow.

i have the same problem (i think). when i connect to the xbox with ftp, the speed is fast. but when i try to watch videos or listen to music from my pc, it takes forever to open the files and the speed is really slow. i heard somewhere that xp service pack 2 could be the problem, does anyone know?

does it work if you use the same folder name as the old one? so you don't need to edit the xml-file?

ok, i just tried the whole downloading while accessing my pc from my xbox and there's something to it.
i've been having issues for the past month or so when trying to play dvds over the network but only from a .ifo or .img file. if i play any other file, including .vobs from a dvd my cache fills up nicely, playback is smooth.
however, playing the .img or .ifo 75% it is really choppy and my cache can't keep up. however, some nights everything was perfectly fine.
well, while downloading at ~700k/s, playing a .ifo or .img was perfectly smooth. as soon as the d/l was done then it became really choppy again.
i'm running winxp with sp2, is there anything i can tweak that will correct this?

ya. this is really becoming an issue. i have excellent speeds with ftp, but my samba access is extremely slow unless i'm downloading something. i am also using winxp with sp2.
note: if i boot into safe mode with networking support, the speed is excellent! songs start instantly and switching songs is gapless.

this sounds like an issue with winxp (probably sp2) networking stack.
i don't know what to tell you.. maybe contact microsoft?
perhaps you can do a test against another machine, not an xbox.
see if you come to the same conclusions.

ok, followup, changed from my onboard 3com nic to my nvidia one and things seem to be running much smoother, ever w/o having to stream a d/l to my pc.
if you're running a a7n8x like me, try the nvidia nic.
