I see from this group that I'm not alone with this sort of problem. In my
case I have a network at home with 2 desktops connected by wires through a
wireless ADSL router (1 XP and one 98) and a wireless network for a laptop
(also XP) Everything has been working great for a year or more until last
week I added a new desktop with Vista Home Premium using wire. I have been
experiencing some of the problems talked about here (can't see all the
folders on the Vista machine I would like to) but my main gripe is a speed
issue.
When I transfer files from the Vista machine to any of the other machines
they fly across as you would expect, but when I try to transfer into it they
are incredibly slow, e.g. talking several minutes for a 5mb music file.
Also the internet speed on the Vista machine is about half what it should
be. It seems anything going into it is being restricted.
I have worked solid for several days now, switching off and on Windows
firewall, changing wires between machines, reconfiguring and undoing it
again but I have got absolutely nowhere.
I checked the site for my router, a Safecom 4 port ADSL router, and they say
it has no issues with Vista.

If anyone could give me some advice I would be very grateful

Thanks Robert. Tried all on your list but unfortunately nothing has
changed. Ready for pulling my hair out here
