When putting a Vista on the network make sure you adjust the SP2 RSS/TOE stuff on the server


A Windows Server 2003-based computer responds slowly to RDP connections or to SMB connections that are made from a Windows Vista-based computer:

And on the Vista machine do these commands:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
And like Charlie Russel (Windows 2008 Administrator 
Companion Book Author says… in the 2008 era..put them back 🙂
