<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have a Media Gateway device that serves as a LAN switch, WiFi AP and a USB 2.0 Host for Media Sharing (among other capabilities).</div><div><br></div><div>I have connected an external USB 2.0 Hitachi Prestige 1TB HDD to the USB Host containing media files (video and audio) to be shared over the LAN.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have one desktop PC running Ubuntu Lucid and one Asus EeePC 1000HE netbook running Ubuntu Lucid (UNE).</div><div><br></div><div>The files are shared using the Samba protocol. When I tried to access the files (play them directly from the share) the video was jerky and the audio skipped. It seemed as if the transfer rate is too low...</div>
<div><br></div><div>a) How can I make sure what's the actual speed ?</div><div>b) Is there a way to speed it up?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!<br clear="all"><br>.:====================================================:.<br>
