Here is my set up...

Suse 10.1 on hda
Windows XP on hdb (NTFS)

pc2 (laptop)
Windows XP
connected via wireless @ 11.0 MB/s (older laptop with integrated
802.11a card)
router = dlink di-614+ (802.11b)
The share is on the windows harddrive on the Suse box. Both firewalls
are turned off.
The wireless connection is very good. However, download speeds are
slow. Windows performance monitor reports that just over 50% of the
bandwidth is being used during large downloads.
I'm wondering if there's a bottleneck going from 802.11a to 802.11b?
Or maybe Samba doesn't share out NTFS partitions well?
Samba shares out NTFS partitions just fine. I have two SUSE machines
(desktop and laptop) and 4 XP boxen (one of which is a laptop)
connected wired and wirelessly. File transfer between all machines is
very fast no matter which OS or networking method is used.
It is far more likely that your issues have to do with your older
networking equipment. I would replace the D-Link (not a brand I
personally recommend in any case) with a newer one that handles a/b/g.
