Thanks.
Cables are all checked: and it worked fine when I had an XP workstation with
a W2000 server.
How do I set the TCP Receiving Window? The Vista box's NIC (SiS) has a
Receive buffer setting in Properties with a max of 1024, but there's no such
or similar setting on the Home Server (Intel NIC), and there's nothing
similar visible in the TCP driver entry in the registry - unless I've missed
it.
