Hi Al,

Thanks for the references. I will try these as soon as I can. Interestingly it did not even dawn on me to do a search. I just expected it to be something locally that was wrong with my specific setup. This problem is actually prevalent and another confirmation to me that Vista is probably even worse than I expected. At some point it would seem worth it to upgrade to Win7.

>>I have a Win Vista Home Premium computer at home and a WinXP computer networked. I set the C drive on the Win XP computer to be shared on the networkd so I could copy items to it from the Vista computer. But the connection is incredibly slow. Just opening a folder on the Win XP computer c drive from the Vista computer can take minutes. And I tried to copy a folder with ~10 MB of files in it and after 30 minutes of trying it finally gave up.

>>I don't know if this is just a config issue or Vista is just a pice of junk (which it is). I used to have two XP computers networkd together on the same network and never had this problem.

>>Anyone know what the issue(s) could be?
