Re: [LUG] Networking question...

 

I don't recall what the xbox supports off the top of my head, i'll have to 
check but what i didn't mention is that it's not an xbox how microsoft ever 
intended it to be :o)

I chipped it, it has a 120GB hard drive in it and it's running Xbox Media 
Centre which basically means it's the same as a windows XP media centre box.
(more info here if desired: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com)

Anyways, as for the nfs, the figures i mentioned were purely linux to linux so 
i must have done something wrong i guess unless the performance of my 
wireless card has got sooooo bad?

[SNIP]

Is that purely Windows<=>Linux?  Did you try NFS between two Linux boxes? 
I routinely use NFS between my machines on my network at home (since
they're all Linux boxes) and I find it really fast, even using the kio
slave.  So, my guess is that it's either something not-quite-right at your
end, or it is something peculiar to SFU (I wouldn't be surprised if it was
intentionally crippled by MS to coerce people into thinking that NFS is
"slow" whilst SMB is "fast"... but since we haven't yet established whether
it is SFU that's causing the problem or not, I really shouldn't let my
cynicism show :D).

Does the XBox support NFS or can it use SFU?  I would be very surprised at
either, personally.
