Thanks very much bova80....this also solved my problems on two Vista
Ultimate machines! If you Google the command, you'll find information about
what it is, what it's supposed to do as well as the command to enable it
should the disable command not work. Microsoft calls it, "Receive Window
Auto-Tuning". The command to enable it is:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
To view the states of the TCP global parameters, you can use this command:
netsh interface tcp show global
Hope this helps others as much as it helped me!
