RE: SMB protocol runs slowly over Cipe

There are lots of reasons for this.  Do you have a WINS server operating at
both ends?  Are both end of the link either in the same domain or the PDCs a
each end trust each other.  I can get the same results over a 100MB lan by
just not trusting the two PDCs that each machine is logged in to.  Try not
logging into a domain at each end you should see an improvement.  SMB does
not cross subnets without help I usually put in a Linux box at each end to
help out.

If SMB was an animal it would go wolf and most people would have shot it or
put it down humanely.

Hi!
I have built several Cipe tunnels at several routers. All the way I get 
results that I can Download files over ftp or http or NFS at maximum speed 
through Cipe tunnel but SMB protocol i.e. copy/paste over Windows shares 
through Cipe is always slow - 25-30KB/s (kilobytes/sec). At same time I 
can download files over ftp or http or NFS at 5 times faster rate, 
150KB/s.
Why is it slow while others protocols are fast?
