Hello, I have some question about wireless connection to powerbook.
Recently I bought linksys 2.4ghz broadband router and on the internet it seems okay to work.
However my question is after I turn on the simple file sharing on wintel machine and try to download from powerbook, it seems like it is transmitting around 100 KB data.
Is this normal? I thought the normal transmittion would be around at least 3-4 MB
i cannot help you with your question but i can try and help you not to make a mistake like this again.
this post belings in the Apple forum, so next time, please tag your threads and put them in apropriate forums.
thanks you.

This is actualy very normal.
SImple file sharing has way too much overhead and the SMB daemon in OS X well... sucks.
I have yet to get a straight answer from Apple as to why it's so slow.
If you want transfer files between a Mac and a PC, use FTP. You will be able to utilize the full bandwidth available on your network.
Go into System Preferences, select Sharing, stop Windows Sharing and start FTP Access.
Thank you for answering that....I thought it was abnormal....and sorry about creating new thread.....
Wow, I haven't got flame for long time....hehehe...Oh yeah, it's kinda shame after month of purchasing new powerbook 17, there is another new powerbook g4, doh!
Anywayz....., thank you...
