Now before the vista defenders start blaming my system.

I have run Vista, Xp, Linux and Server2003 on this machine all but Vista work fine with data transfers. I have tried 2 different Network cards in this machine and i have an inbuilt 1 gig network card.

If i transfer say 2 gig from my vista machine to my WHS or to a Linux machine on my network it can take up to 20 minutes to do that. I i transfer from the Linux to the WHS or from a XP laptop to anything other than the vista machine all is fine and the transfer can be finished in 5 Min's tops.

So has Vista SP1 been the fix i needed no, It still leaves Vista as a alpha version operating system. Role on a version of Linux that runs Call Of Duty 4.

ok.. just finished installing SP1...

And now? trying to establish WTF happened to my ****ing audio!!!

I had every reason to have some niggling doubts............ everything else is ok, however....

nm.. sorted it.. had to kill it in device manager and then have it relook for it and install it - problem solved....

Not bad though, took about an hour for it to install, it rebooted four times and I only wanted to knock the stuffing out of it once... :D

I would not say transfers across my network are lightning fast however I do not suffer the problem to the extent you do. My nic is marvel yukon gigabit running to a linksys router. A dvd image takes approx 10 mins so that is quite substantially faster than yours. I have seen 6 images cross in about 40-50 mins as iso smaller files ie vobs do seem to take longer . I understand your pain lol

The only thing thats had to be messed with on my machine was MSN and this just reinstalled itself when I opened it

That is the same adapter that i have. All my machines connect to a gigabyte switch which is then connect's to a port on the Linksys router running tomato software. All the switching is carried out in the switch with the router only acting as dhcp and Nat for the internet.

I can watch paint dry faster i must admit. I NEVER had any of these problems on XP :rolleyes:

Other than the planet slow transfer speeds i find Vista is finally moving forward, You never know it might be as good as XP in a couple of years time :LOL:

set it all point to point via the switch and you should be fine. means that you would have to set static and ip's on both pcs and see what happens then mate :)
