Comment 18 for bug 84782

I have samba 3.0.28a on ubuntu 8.04 on two machines, a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is connected by ethernet to a wireless router and the laptop connects wirelessly to that router at 54MBps. I share directories from the desktop to the laptop via samba to maintain compatibility if I need to boot into windows. Unfortunately, I have a maximum transfer rate of 10Mbps when moving files in nautilus. I do not expect my hard drives or network hardware to be limiting this and have no problem with internet speeds. Is it possible to setup a linux-style network in parallel with samba sharing for the time being?
