Vista network quick to timeout

[CMoya]

I have a home server running WinXP that goes to sleep and takes 3 or 4
seconds to wake up when accessed over the network. Vista never waits for it
wake up. It times out almost immediately.... and even worse seems to "cache"
the timeout for several minutes. So even though the server is up and ready,
Vista still says it's not available. This only happens when using Vista. Is
there any way to make Vista try a little harder and not be so quick to give
up?

Setting the ethernet card properties to half duplex (speed tab) cured that
for me.
