Vista network speed is unacceptable
I am currenty trying to copy files from my Vista Ultimate desktop machine to
my Windows Home server box. Both are connected toa gigabit switch with CAT6 cables. The speed is atrocious ranging from 500k-3Mb/sec. This has been a constant problem transferring between machines at my home, and was not present when the machines ran XP. I have tried all the 'solutions' on the web to no avail, and I am not playing music at the same time. This, to me is an absolute show stopping bug, and yet it hasn't been fixed after a year, it just asotunds me. Some acknowledgement of the problem would be nice, or somewhere with a combined list of all the possible solutions. Is the only option left to wait in hope?

Vista network speed is unacceptable
This isn't uncommon...
Run the following and reboot: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled This turns off Vista autotuning which can result in network speed increases (actually, Vista should be faster in the first place, but the differing network topologies out there cause varying results). --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:40:00 -0700, Costanza wrote: I am currenty trying to copy files from my Vista Ultimate desktop machine to my Windows Home server box.

Vista network speed is unacceptable
Have had XP and several Vista (Ultimate) computers, wired and wireless,
networked via a "headless" Windows Home Server (non-RTM) since first Beta. Using Router vice a switch. No performance problems transferring files to the server shared folders or executing daily backups. - somewhar slower via wireless. "Costanza" wrote in message ...

Have you checked to see if they are still set?
netsh int tcp show global They sometimes (usually after an update) revert back to being enabled.... --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Mon, 29 Oct 2007 18:45:00 -0700, Costanza wrote: Thanks for the reply, but tried that already along with all the other 'fixes' I could find on the net.
