Vista - Network access slow? (Access to W2k3)

Hi there,
we have installed Windows Vista Beta 2 x86 (english) on an Athlon XP 1600
computer to see the new features of this new o.s.
Main problem actually recognized:
Similiar as with some older WinXP editions,we experienced a very slow read
and write access to a shared folder on an Windows 2003 server.
It seems that the access becomes more slow as bigger the accessed file is,
so a 28MBytes file may take 1-3 Minutes (!!) until it is transferred (from or
to) the server.

Yesterday, I wanted to load a 80 megabytes file from the server:
At the first trial, I blocked the transfer after about 90 minutes (!!)
At second trial, I could get the file after about 10-15 minutes (!!) from
the server.

When I try to get the same file with a Win XP pro pc, the transfer time is -
as usual - only several seconds...

As I remember, some WinXP installations in the early time of WXP, I had also
some Problems with transfer times, but there slightly different: as more
(small) files there were to transfer, as longer it took - and only when
trying to write to the server.

What could be the problem?
Any Hint?
Many thanks for any tipp!

Greetings Thomas
