I'm copying 5.1gb from my vista 64 machine over the network to a windows xp home machine. I am getting 1.8mb a sec. I have a linksys router. I'm going over wireless. Why is it copying so slow?I am tech savy. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you yet installed Service Pack 1 on the Vista machine?Has the machine yet been updated past that?

Hi, Try to take the following suggestion: Add the CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo registry entry ============================================== 1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. 2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System 3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 4. Type CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo to name the new entry, and then press ENTER. 5. Right-click CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo, and then click Modify. 6. In the Value data box, type 1 , and then click OK. 7. Exit Registry Editor and restart computer to test this issue. Hope it helps.
