This is what I have posted over at Apples Forums....
Ok, this is getting to the point where I am completly dissatisfied with both of my Apple machines. I have a Macbook Pro and an iMac, both less than a year old. When I first got them, both of them was faster then my Windows machines at transfering files. Now after what seems the Mountain Lion upgrade that I did on both machines, transfers are extremely slow and I mean SLOW. I am talking in KB/s around 300-400 over wireless or wired, that is just rediculous to say the least and I have noticed a lot of users having the same issues, with no resolve.
My Network is built up from a mainly wired Cisco network, none of the cheap Linksys Cisco equipment you can pick up in Walmart, everything I run is Small Business Routers and Switches running on a Gigabit network.
I have no overlaps in wireless channels with anyone or myself, I run a router to my DSL modem, 2 Cisco swithes downstream and a Cisco WAP further out in the building. Both wireless units are running 20Mhz Channel Bandwidth, my router is on Channel 11 and my WAP is using Channel 1 which at this time is offline to try and eliminate issues.
Adding music from a Windows share or SMB I think they are called, to my iTunes is painfull to say the least. So I am reaching out to you fine technical guys to try to help me out. I have tried lots of different things to no eval and was even considering reloading the OS, but how can it be a glitch if both machines are doing it?
So, I have set up a Windows 2003 server to find out if it was a networking issue with switches or the server. After getting the server up, I can see no more issues, everything is lightning fast. So the issue is with the WHS 2011 Box which is an HPMEDIASERVER EX495 (headless).
Without reloading the entire system, what a pain that is... can anyone shed some light on WHY this server is doing this? it used to be fine a couple of months ago and now this developed. I was always excited at the speeds the macs transfer over to windows, now it is a crawl and unbearable.
So I hope one of the many WHS techies can help me out with this issue, before I am committed to a reload and or funny farm...
Please ask questions and I will try to help you out.... Now I am not 100% certain I did not do a registry tweak trying to get my Windows 7 machines to transfer faster. We may need to compare registry settings and or network card settings.
