Vista - Very slow copy from network

I have a gigabit lan and approx 10 pc's i can move files around with no
problem in xp , windows 2003 server etc but when i convert one of my xp
machines into vista ultimate it takes over an hour to copy 1 100mb file which
takes 10 seconds on xp

I have found http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/931770
which seems to be relevant to my problem, how do i get this patch without
paying to call microsoft. I am a technet plus subscriber

I tried all this and ropocopy is definitely faster but not nearly as fast as
it should be.

Is microsoft working on a patch for this? I see a lot of posts with this
issue

What I did was install XP on the Machine and then I upgraded to Vista. For
whatever reason there is no problem copying over when I did this. I have a
machine that had XP and Upgraded to Vista and no problem. However with a new
machine when it comes to copying ovet the network it is very slow or just
doesnt copy

Someone else got it and it's available from

However, use it at your own risk since it's not actually coming from
Microsoft.

Hello,

If you are using a wired NIC my solutiuon was this.

Set your NIC to 100 FULL DUPLEX and turn Auto Negotiation off which is one
in the same. Set the NIC to Flow Control.

This worked very nicely for me.
