I have a small network consisting of five machines. Two of the
computers have Vista Home Premium installed and the others have
various flavors of Windows XP installed. Copying and transferring
files works flawlessly between the machines except for one of the
Xp laptops which has very poor performance when communicating
with either of the Vista machines. I can access this computer
from either of the Vista machines and transfer files with no
problem. However, if I use this laptop to access the Public
folder on either of the Vista machines, the throughput is so slow
to the point that Windows Explorer will "hang". In an effort to
solve this problem I have: Installed and run Network Magic on
both computers...no problems found. I have installed the Link
Layer Topology service on the laptop and I have tried disabling
the "Autotuning level" on one of the Vista machines all to no
avail. The laptop in question has XP Media Center on it with no
antivirus or firewall software installed. All ping times are
good. All of the computers on the network are connected
wirelessly except for one of the Vista machines. I've tried
connecting the laptop directly to the router with a cable but
still no joy. At this point I am stumped.
