Copying files over network to Home Server slow/fails
Re-submmiting due to no replies :(--------------------------------------------------------Hi,I have Win7 RC installed on my media center PC (MCE) and I have a Home Server, (WHS) both with 1Gbs NICs.When I try to copy large files using the MCE to the WHS it starts well, but it sudently stops and fails. other times however, works but it is very slow. On the other hand, if I login to WHS and copy from there, it works fine, using around 40% of the network bandwidth.If I copy between 2 Win7 machines (using my laptop) it work great with a fantastic performance.I've also used IOMeter between the two machines (MCE and WHS), and I can get continuous traffic between the2 PCs with 80% usage of the bandwidth. I've tested using a crosscable, and the symptoms remain. I'm running out of ideas. Any hints/suggestions?Thanks,PC

I'm having a similar problem - searching around the forums to find an answer... I've got a Win7 x64 machine connected to a Gigabit switch. Windows home server with PP2/all patched on the same switch. After about 6 hours of heavy copying (at 50-60Mb/sec) to the Home Server, Windows 7 doesn't want to copy any more - any connections to the home server are slow/intermittent (PINGs fail) until Windows 7 is rebooted. Yours seems to fail initially, but mine fails after a number of hours... Have checked all LAN drivers and they are all MS qualified... --Tosh

What version driver are you using for your computer's nic with Windows 7 on it?
