Re: Network freezes /crashes when it's heavly used on Windows Vista

I have tried to disable auto tuning level and the rss as described.
Also downloaded the KB931770 file that's refered to in the article from
difrent sites, but it just says that i does not apply to my system.
This is maybe made prior to SP1?

So still got the same problem
