I see several threads concerning similar problems, but not quite like
this. I have several XP computers that have been communicating just
fine between themselves for years. I purchased a nice Vista Home
Premium 64-bit laptop and set up what I thought was a good file sharing
system. Network Neighborhoods on ALL computers show each other as on
the network - they are all in the same workgroup - and the various
shared folders ALL show up nicely too.
My problem is that anything coming or going to the Vista machine is
glacially slow. A simple 1Mb transfer may take as much as 5 minutes to
complete. My network connections all show 100MB/s and between any XP
machine and any other XP machine a 1Mb file blows by in a second.
Connections appear to be fine, as I can "see" all my computers from each
other, just that the transfers are slow to/from the Vista machine.
I have followed suggestions in the other threads concerning setting up
network sharing, and a couple of them did help me over the rough spots,
but now I am stumped.
