Re: Slow Vista browsing network after 2003 SP2

We are having a problem with windows Vista Business and Windows
server 2003 RS since installing service pack 2.

Browsing network shares and opening files has slowed down to a point
it is almost unusable, I have searched everywhere for a fix but
cannot find one. I have noticed a few posts from other people
describing the issue but they have resolved the issue by
un-installing SP2.

In addition to Ken's post, which explains why it is happening, take a look
at this quick fix shortcut.

Susan Bradley: Vista slow after SP2 installed?

Try the following before un-joining it from the domain:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Reboot the machine. Then re-join. Reboot.
