In Vista RC1 5728 and RC2 5744, I have had network problems where if I
copy a music or picture file onto another computer's network folder from my computer with Vista, it shows 'calculating time remaining' and freezes up every time. I end up having to reset my computer to clear it up. It seems to copy word documents onto other computers' network folders just fine. My computer with Vista also loses its Internet connection sometimes when I try to access my computer's network folder from another computer. The only way to fix that is to restart the computer. The network is all wired, not wireless and there are three computers on the network through a 4-port Linksys router. My computer has both XP and Vista, while the other two computers have XP only. I do not experience networking issues on my computer when I'm on XP. My question here is has anybody else experienced a similar networking problem and the biggest question is, has this been fixed in the RTM version of Vista? My networking adapter is an onboard NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller on an Asus K8N motherboard. Besides this bug and the mfpmp in WMP11, I'm starting to like Vista as it loads applications a lot faster and is generally more responsive than XP on the same computer. (I was previously pretty skeptical about it.) I did not experience this networking issue in Beta 2 (5384), Pre-RC1 (5536), or RC1 (5600). I had other networking problems in Beta 2, but they were resolved in 5536. So, anybody know? Thanks. |

Travis,
I'm sorry you're experiencing problems. The best advice I have for you is to ask you to install the Release version of Vista and tell us if you can reproduce any of these issues.

I'm thinking about trying a networking card as opposed to the onboard
networking adapter and see if that will make a difference. I have a few just sitting around. If that doesn't work, then I guess I will just have to take it from there. Like I said, I did not experience these problems up until build 5728 and 5744. Thanks. Kim [MS] wrote: Travis, I'm sorry you're experiencing problems.

Tried a different network card and that fixed it. Thanks.
