Microsoft Read Write Review • We wanted to review the read/write buffer sizes when we mix Windows 98, 2000 and NT together.
Setup Notes • Network connection 10 Mb/s – Half Duplex Ethernet • Some charts were scaled down to 100’s of milliseconds. Therefore the maximum theoretical throughput would be .125 MB or 1.25 Mb/s.

Sniffer Notes Same old Bug..
Sniffer Notes Whenever you create a filter and create a print file, the output doesn’t match what was in the filtered trace.
Work Around Option 1 • Just click the Save As. • Select OK at the Next dialog screen. • When prompted for a file name, Press Esc. • Now create your Print File.
Work Around Option 2 • Select whatever Display Filter • Right click and choose Create New Filtered Window. • Now create your Print File.
Output File Note I found if you drag and drop at least 4 Trace Files from the File Manager into the Sniffer Application and then Create your Print File, the Output is back to the correct format. Sounds nuts, but seems to work for me... so far.
How to Quickly Group the Reads and Writes ?? • Import the trace file into Excel. Make sure you kept the Summary information as an entire cell. • Sort on Summary Information. • Select the Summary Column and use the Data-Text to Columns function. Choose the Delimited option and use equals, space and comma as a delimiter,
Microsoft Registry Change • Locate and click the following key in the registry: • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters • On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value: • Value Name: SizReqBuf • Data Type: DWORD Value • Radix: Decimal • Value: 65535 Quit Registry Editor.
