Hi I installed windows Vista Ultimate RTM on an AMD Turion64 2Ghz processor
with 2GB of ram.



Everything is running very well except for explorer with network shares. It
takes anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes to open a network folder. The same
machine with XP is instantaneous. Other computers on the network are
instantaneous to the same shares as well.

Using a Dell P4 1.6GHz on the same connection is also instantaneous.

Exploring locally on Vista is very fast.

This is a show stopper if I can't get this fixed. The only other thing I
have installed is Etrust Antivirus. I tried disabling Etrust and the
realtime monitor and it is still dog slow!

It seems to be a 'feature', I have the same problem with a NAS, time to
make a cup of tea while it shows the details.

It is very annoying... I store everything on the network especially
development installation files etc...

It really makes the system unusable... Hopefully these guys work on
weekends...lol

Try this:

The command to disable the autotuninglevel is:

- Click start, All Programs
- Accessories
- Right-click Command Prompt
- Click Run As Administrator
- Type the following: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Press enter
- Restart your computer (not really necessary)

Zakhar,

Using IP Addresses results in the same slow connection.

YLo,

The original value for the autotuninglevel was normal.

I changed it to disabled and noted no change. I restarted and tried
again... same slow speeds.

I then changed it back to normal.

I've had this same problem several times and ultimately the firewall was
always at fault.

Tinkerer - I tried disabling the firewall to no avail.

I cannot believe that this issue even exists.
