samba file server runing extremly slow

[Jonathan Christison]

Hello and thank for yore help because i need it
can any one tell me why my samba server transfers at speed of 5mb/s and
slower ? this is a ridiculously slow speed as my network run's at
100mps.
i was thinking maby its the way im sharing them with user share instead
of file share. 
i have checked the card is a 100mps card and all the other servises run
just as slow i even took of aloada services and it made no difference.
its a 500mhz machine with 32mb or ram wif no gui why is it funing this
slow should i change to a older OS like redhat 7.1 or is FC1 ok???

yore help would be greatly appreciated
