Network access slow? (Access to W2k3)

Hi there,
we have installed Windows Vista Beta 2 x86 (english) on an Athlon XP 1600
computer to see the new features of this new o.s.
Main problem actually recognized:
Similiar as with some older WinXP editions,we experienced a very slow read
and write access to a shared folder on an Windows 2003 server.
It seems that the access becomes more slow as bigger the accessed file is,
so a 28MBytes file may take 1-3 Minutes (!!) until it is transferred (from or
to) the server.

Yesterday, I wanted to load a 80 megabytes file from the server:
At the first trial, I blocked the transfer after about 90 minutes (!!)
At second trial, I could get the file after about 10-15 minutes (!!) from
the server.

When I try to get the same file with a Win XP pro pc, the transfer time is -
as usual - only several seconds...

As I remember, some WinXP installations in the early time of WXP, I had also
some Problems with transfer times, but there slightly different: as more
(small) files there were to transfer, as longer it took - and only when
trying to write to the server.

What could be the problem?
Any Hint?
Many thanks for any tipp!

Greetings Thomas
 
I would like to be sure I understand the original conditions. You obtained a
new system that did not use Microsoft controller drivers? or older Microsoft
drivers? or older nVidia drivers? What dates, if you know them, were on the
drivers, old and new. Do you think this was a 'roll back'? Or is it possible
you were simply 'refreshing' the installed driver?
I'm looking for a clue to diagnose the condition, and it's cure. I'm aware
it's hard for you to tell, but what you know about it would help. Slow copy
would indicate the problem, but knowing things like 'is it nVidia' or
whatever you were seeing might tell us something.
Thanks.
