| I have just switched back to XP and I can't believe how much faster networking is. Until this is resolved I can't see me using Vista again for a while sadly as I really like it.

| That's a shame, most networking problems have been cleared up one way or another, even by installing XP drivers on Vista and removing the newer protocols, I do feel that MS might be offering more in the way of helping peeps configure their Vista network components especially if it's putting some off the OS completely.

| I agree cyclic but no matter what I do I can't resolve this issue: http://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic6431-45-1.aspx also the extremely slow performance of Vista on my network meant that apps like my email client would stall for long periods accessing the mail on the server. I have no doubt I'll go back to it, I mean, I've paid for the blooming thing but not until these fundamental problems are fixed.

| Cheers WAW8 but I still need this to be fixed before I can even consider going back to Vista and believe me, I really want to.
I am running a small network. My workstations are running Vista ultimate and my server running Windows 2003 server. Under XP I had no problems accessing mapped drives but under Vista they become inaccessible after a period of time/inactivity.
This is how it is set up. I have a folder shared on my server called applications. I have it mapped as "P:\Applications" on my Vista PC. In "stored user names and passwords" I have an entry \\Server with the login details barry@home and the password. This is exactly the same as I had in XP. When I launch Vista the drives auto connect and I can access any of the files. However after a while when I click on a mapped drive icon I get the following error dialog box entitled: "Location is not available" The error message then reads: "P:\ is not accessible. Logon failure: unknown user name or password." If I reboot Vista the mapped drives work again so it doesn't look like it's a Server 2003 problem and this didn't happen under XP.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Baz |

| | Clean install of Vista Ultimate with Intel motherboard, latest drivers my gigabit lan gets max 9 megs a second transfer. My notebook which is XP far exceeds that on the same network equipment. Anything else I can do to tweak it? |
