Network Shares are Slow with Vista Enterprise SP2
Hi, I have Vista Enterprise SP2 32-bit in a Hyper-V virtual machine. I am using a internal application that has heavy interaction with a network share on 2008R2 that is on another virtual machine on the same server. When I run the application on a Server 2008R2, it completes in two minutes, which is expected. When it runs on Vista it completes in eight minutes (4 times slower), which is unacceptable. I am forced to use Vista because it is the latest OS supported by Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1. I have tried turning autotune and RSS off, I've added CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo=1 to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System, disabling Remote Differential Compress, disabling Windows Meeting Space and I've also tried the experiment in safe mode with networking. Nothing works. Is there something else to try? Is there a way to clone 2008R2's network settings for vista, since they work? The network card reports as: Microsoft Virtual Machine Bus Network Adaptor with a link speed of 10 Gbits (ten gigabits). Thanks, John

Hi, Let us try changing your network adapter from 100mbps full duplex (mine is default originally) to Auto 1) Right click on "Computer" under the start menu and select "Properties". 2) Under the "Hardware" tab, Select and open "Device manager" 3) Click the plus sign next to "Network Adapters" 4) Right click on your NIC and goto Properties 5) Click on the "Configure" button. Choose the Advanced tab, and look for an item that mentions "Duplex & Link speed". Change it to "Auto".
