Vista Tutorial - Vista Business and Windows server 2003 network shares

I have just purchased a new PC with Vista Business installed. I'm trying to
access a network share on a standalone Windows 2003 Server - Enterprise
Edition (joined to the domain) without success. I can access all of our
Windows 2000 servers. I found a couple of articles stating that turning off
IPv6 sometimes helps and making sure the Vista PC is on the domain but to no
avail. When I try to access the share explorer freezes, I can access the same
share from a XP machine.

Getting stuck now, can anyone help.

I would check the DNS settings first. Or this link may help,

Thanks for the post but it doesn't seem to help. I'm working my way through
the suggested ideas but it's not looking good.

The computer joined the domain without any issues. I can connect to the
mapped network drive on a windows 2003 server but its so slow, 5 mins or so
to open a 3kb htm document, anything bigger just freezes the PC. The windows
2000 servers are fine , no problems connecting.

I can't believe that I'm the only one experiencing this.

Just discovered article 932170 from the KB

The bit that worked for me was;

Method 4: Disable the automatic adjustment for the TCP window size on the
network

Method A

Although your notes did include this fix there is a stage missing. You need
to run the command prompt as administrator to get this to work

4. Disable the automatic adjustment for the TCP windows size on the network

Thank you
