Slow Samba Speeds NOT NTFS

[Fma965]

Hey i recently bought a goflex home 2tb.

Install archlinux arm
installed samba
got like 10mb/s (11 max and considering its not on a gigbat ethernet thats great)
archlinux f***ed up

after many hours fixing it
i restored stock kwb file using instructions in this forum

Installed archlinux again
install samba

but now i only get 3mb/s MAX

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda2 /media ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
')

Copying to either /tmp or /media (second partition as mentioned above) results in around 3mb/s

But before i started over i have the same in my fstab and same set up and got 10mb/s

Please help explain the problem,

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = NAS
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
use sendfile = yes
local master = No
[tests]
comment = Test
path = /media
create mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes

[tmp]
comment = Test
path = /tmp
create mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes')

that is my current smb.conf although i have tried hundreds of settings

JUST TO CONFIRM
my second partition is ext4 and mounted /media
most likely the reason for my slow speeds is the .conf file as i have lost the 1 i had before starting over.

With a direct gigabit connection between goflex and laptop i get ~13 (this is essentailly what i should be getting with out a gigabit connection)
With a cable going from my goflex to my router (dd-wrt) to my pc i get ~3 to ~5mb
Thanks

EDIT: hmm ok so changing my network adapter from DHCP to static fixed it.

now i get around 12mb/s
