Network Problems with Vista 64

I have a network with 1 server with SBS Server2003 Premium, one Server with 2003 Standard, 5 XP Pro workstations, 1 Vista Business x64 workstation, 1 Vista Home Premium x32 workstation, and 1 Vista Home Premium x64 on a laptop. All except the Vista Home Premium computers are on the domain. The Home Premium computers are in workgroup mode using the domain name as the workgroup (which allows browsing the network shares).

The problems are as follows:

Files transferred from the vista64 computers to the servers or to other xp based computers are corrupted. But it they are transferred to other Vista computers (including Vista 32bit), they are fine. Transfers between Vista32 Home Premium computer and xp computers are ok. Transfers between Vista64 (Business and vista64 home premium) and xp do not work (the files are corrupted at the destination xp or server2003 computer).

Transfers FROM the Server2003 and XP based computers to the Vista 64 computers are fine.

Also, when exploring the network while attached to the domain, the XP-based computers and servers do not show up in the my network window in the domain on the vista64 Business computer after rebooting, unless I unplug the network cable, then plug the network cable back in. The vista 64 home premium can see the networked xp computers after rebooting without any problems, but it runs in workgroup mode and not on the domain (Home Premium can’t join a sbs2003 domain).

The XP based computers can see the Vista 64 computers with no problem.

Anybody got any ideas why the Vista x64 computers cannot successfully copy files to the XP computers and why the Vista x64 computer on the domain has issues browsing the network computers?
