We have a group of Vista clients happily connected to our SBS 2000 server for
9 months - NO PROBLEMS.
I have now upgraded 2 of the clients to SP1 and they are both exhibiting the
same problem - I cannot copy files larger than 1MB to the shared folders on
the server.
This IS serious - and can anyone provide any insight to fixing this.
I have no problems with the non SP1 Vista clients.
I actually did get the copy to work after about 50 attempts .... and then it
failed again. Our SBS 2000 server is fully updated including our clients.

Anyone with any ideas ??

Thanks
Neil

Have you tried turning off "auto-tuning" on the Vista machines?

thanks for the quick response - sorry but your suggestion does not fix the
problem.
I have been talking to Microsoft this morning and they are investigating -
but it is beginning to look like a bug
Any other suggestions ?

No other suggestions at the moment, but I'll keep looking.

problem solved : )

Reinstallation of the INTEL network driver on the Vista Client fixed the
problem
Very strange indeed - Microsoft agreed it was odd and are passing it on.
This was on 3 notebooks so is an issue - apparantly with the Intel Network
drivers not installing properly after SP1
