I posted this to general, but apparently it would be better he

I have a strange problem. I now have my network shares on my new Vista
machine. Everything works fine until I want to copy several files fast
from an XP machine to a network share. Then the network slows to a
halt and the vista machine disappears off the radar briefly.
It happens when I am copying photographs from a memory stick via an XP
machine to a Vista share. Or when copying TomTom (Navigator update)
files from the net to a Vista share.
In both cases the Vista machine temporarily disappears from the radar
and the XP machine (of course) slows to a halt too.
Why just when copying photographs or navigator files from either a
memory stick or the net? Usually after about nine files. Not when
copying directly between XP and Vista shares.

PS: I have now disabled v6 TCPIP... will that help?

I have the same "D:\photographs" folder available as a share on the
Vista machine and on other machines as T:\.

I note that when I try to copy photographs to it, T:\ disappears from
the radar both on the XP machine and locally.

But the local folder D:\photographs is still there and accessible.
