Mac users have been pretty upset with performance of Netware under OS 9. Compared to a windows computer- it's pretty depressing.
On a low end machine (G3 ibook and a Windows 300MHz running XP), a 15MB file copies in 30 seconds on the mac and 15 seconds on the PC. With higher end machines (dual 600 PC and dual 800 Mac), my mac gets down to 15 seconds for that same 15 MB file while the windows machine takes about 2 seconds...
I'm optimized things as well as I could from the client side- setting large packets and limiting them to 1497 bytes. Anything else and performance gets worse and worse. Any other ideas? We are using Netware 9 and Prosoft's IPX client (5.14).
Thanks
