Installed fine but slow network

Hi,
I've installed Amahi +f14 on a AMD based system, and it all seems fine, but the network speed ( copying files to/from Win7 desktop) is very slow, in the order of 500-800K. I also have a Openfiler running on another smaller machine, and that manages 8-10M transfer rate for same operation.
I'm only using 100M Ethernet, and the Amahi machine is an AMD 754 ( 3200 = 2.2Ghz) based motherboard with 1GByte of RAM ( which may be a bit small).
I'm not very linux orientated, so any suggestions on what to look at/check would be much appreciated.

I seriously doubt its the OS. Most likely its your network or the capability of the machine you are using for the HDA. You may need to do some detailed troubleshooting to pinpoint the problem.

Can you suggest what to look at? I assume from the Amahi end. Is there a log file I should look over? Or a command that might reveal a bit more information? Sorry if this seems very basic stuff, but I'm out of my comfort zone here.

My point was it is most likely not Amahi or Fedora that is the issue. Check your network connection, cables, etc.
It could be anything, but I would look at the client. Maybe try a different client to see if that is the cause. It could be the network card in the HDA that is not as efficient with Fedora running.
There was some info in the forums here about increasing transfer speeds on Fedora that might help. Suggest you do a search.

Im guessing its a driver issue. Are you using an onboard NIC?
If so, I'd sugegst getting a quality NIC.
Even before all of that, you can try swapping out LAN cables, and try a different port on your switch, just to rule those out as well.
Or plug another device into same cable and test connection that way.
I get excellent network speeds, 80-90 MB/sec

It could be something else too. I don't know what, still trying to figure that out myself. For a gigabit network you have to manually change a file called smb.conf and remove a part. That brought me at 50 mb speed.
This machine is exactly the same as the machine I had installed Windows Home Server on. I just reinstalled the system with another OS. i was uses of getting the 80-90 speed as mentioned above. I use a seperate pci intel nic. It doesnt go faster then the built in Realtek nic.
