How is smb working for everyone on Panther?
I'm having problems connecting to my smb shares via Airport Extreme. If I try to transfer a file it would take forever, I mean really forever, it takes 10 or more minutes to transfer a 1MB file. If I connect through afp it works normally. Also if I use wired connection it works fine with samba. Any clues to what might the problem be?

The problem is more than likely your AirPort Extreme equipment-probably the base station. For some reason, Extreme wireless seems to have several issues going on, and it gives a lot of users problems. I had not heard of Samba being a major problem, but I'm not surprised at anything from Extreme any more.

I have yet to move up to 802.11g wireless. Just about everybody that posts about Extreme posts about problems. Extreme (and other vendors' products)haven't shown me any major features other than the promise of higher speeds, so I haven't been motivated to change anything.

Everything I have is 802.11b, and it's working fine. If I need a faster connection than that, I have some Cat5 cable lying around, and I connect that way-it is at least twice as fast as "G" wireless, anyway!

I thought it would be the base station as well, but I never had this problems in Jaguar. Slow transfer started after I did a clean install of Panther.
