Hi Micah,

When you mount the smb share are you using cifs, cifs can handle files larger
than 2GB.
e.g. mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/mountpoint

Also, verify that you are getting 100Mbs between the two, one of your cards may
be set to only go 10Mbs. You can use miitool or something else to change the
speed of the card. DO a transfer back and forth and make sure you are getting
the speeds you think. Approx. 1000Mbs=120MBs - 100Mbs=12MBs - 10Mbs=1.2MBs

I have used samba since I first set up myth and it has worked fine for me, hope
this helps.

Jon
