Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Server
Vista Home Premium one end, Windows Home Server the other, both fully updated
via Windows Update (so no SP1). 100 Mbps network, full duplex. Both machines are 2 GB Pentium D Dual core boxes with RAIDed SATA drives. Server has a RAID 5 on a 3ware controller, Vista has a RAID 1 mirror on a SiS controller. My problem is that I’m only getting about 2 Megabytes per second transfer speed (approx 20 Mbps). Since these are the only boxes on the network, I’d expect to be getting full speed. I’ve tried disabling AVG. I’ve tried disabling Remote Differential Compression. I’ve tried switching to half-duplex. I’ve tried disabling TCP autotune and rss. I’ve tried disabling TCPA on the server. I’ve applied the KB947773 hotfix (updated tcpip.sys) which improved the transfer speed to 3 MB /sec I’ve tried turning off thumbnails. That reduced the transfer speed to 2 MB / sec! I’ve tried tweaking HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Network ThrottlingIndex I've tried changing the network switch into which they're both plugged. Anyone got the answer? -- qts

Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Server
Hi
Could be Bad network cable, or loose plugs connection. Also try to set the TCP Receiving Window on both computers to 256960. Jack (MVP-Networking). "Quentin" wrote in message ...

Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Se
Thanks.
Cables are all checked: and it worked fine when I had an XP workstation with a W2000 server. How do I set the TCP Receiving Window? The Vista box's NIC (SiS) has a Receive buffer setting in Properties with a max of 1024, but there's no such or similar setting on the Home Server (Intel NIC), and there's nothing similar visible in the TCP driver entry in the registry - unless I've missed it. -- qts (MCPs: NT, NT Server, NT Enterprise, XP, Windows Server 2003) "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Hi Could be Bad network cable, or loose plugs connection.

Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Se
Hi
Try this one it works in Vista, and Windows 2003. I applied it to my WHS and it seems to work, but I did not have time to evaluate the overall outcome. So YMMV on WHS.

Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Se
Against my better judgement - given the recent press - I installed SP1 and
the speed has increased to 7 MB / sec. This is better but still not good. I should be getting 10+. -- qts "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Hi Try this one it works in Vista, and Windows 2003.

Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Se
This has actually had no improvement at all on the overnight backup. It's
still only done 35% in 9 hours. Since this is the first backup, I've got about 180 GB to back up. Is it possible that there's an issue with the backup process itself? A size limit? -- qts "Quentin" wrote: Against my better judgement - given the recent press - I installed SP1 and the speed has increased to 7 MB / sec. This is better but still not good.

Slow networking between Vista Home Premium and Windows Home Server
Oh dear. I'm now trying a more intensive test, and the data transfer rate has
gone down to 4 MB /sec. -- qts "Quentin" wrote: Against my better judgement - given the recent press - I installed SP1 and the speed has increased to 7 MB / sec. This is better but still not good.
