Re: Is Win2003 sserver a bad file server OS?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Mike,

>From http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;138365, "If you
modify it at the command line, Windows NT and Windows 2000 may turn off its
autotuning functions."

Have you checked the NIC properties to make sure that there are no power
saving settings or "Allow this computer to turn off power to the NIC" type
settings done? I always do autodisconnect at the registry and I have had NO
disconnects with that and power management off.
