We all know that sometimes things sloooowwwwwiiinnnngggg down can be a real drag.  Some people have seen this sort of thing with Vista and while sometimes it is to do with drivers (do I need to say wireless here??), others it could be one of the "nice" new features in Vista.  In the latter example I can give you a good pointer to help.

Susanne Dansey pointed this out to me, which is a posting by Kevin Higerty on this very problem - pop along to his blog to get the low down.

I’ve been running Vista on my SBS network for a while, well since the January Action Pack, and have noticed resource access to the SBS box getting slower and slower over the last few days. At the same time I had issues like log on’s taking 2 minutes, explorer time outs and generally the whole system running like a dog.

The two symptoms have turned out to be seperate, but combined they are a ‘throw the sodding pc outa the window’ type scenario.

Slow networking is due to the auto tuning of TCP/IP in Vista which is turned on by default.
