It most likely has to do with rather CIFS is using RAW or CORE mode for
transfers and what the blocks are. This is dependent upon the SPx and NTx.
Have you put a sniffer on there to see what block sizes are being requested?

Subject: nt server vs wkstn.. tcpsat performance
I've done a whole lot of testing over the last couple of weeks, and
incorporated alot of your suggestions... I've found some really strange
behavior with different versions of nt.
With NT 4 Workstation (sp 5 or 6) we get 207k (consistently) and very
little else, despite
window sizes, buffer sizes, etc. Our Link udget is 16 megabits.
With NT 4 Server (sp 6) we get 2 megabits! consistently!
With NT Server 3.5.1 (sp5) we get 207k again.
With NT Server 3.5.1 (no service packs) we get 2 megabits again.
This makes me think something is screwed up in one of the sp's. I tried
taking
the 3.5.1 sp5 machine back to sp3 but it didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone have a clue as to what the file(s) are that are causing this?
thanks,
Graham Street
