Hi,
I have a gigabit network with a netgear gs605 switch.
When copying files from my windows 2003 machine onto vista it does it at
only 5meg per sec. But if I reboot my machine in xp (its dual boot)
and do the same i get my usual 50meg per sec.
I've tried searching the net for the past 7 days but I have not found
any solution to this. Can someone please offer some advice?
I have updated the drivers for my network card to the latest Marvell
Yukon drivers for vista.
thanks.
You're good. I'm getting only 2MB/s on gigabit.

I got exactly the same problem. I just installed Vista Ultimate 32 Bit this
weekend and Network Transfers (GBit Ethernet) from the server to the client
are extremely slow.
With XP I got around 15 MBy/s, now I'm stuck at 5 MBy/s.
I got a Marvel 8053 Networkchip on the Vista Machine, the Server Runs
Windooze 2003 Server.
Pls help

Try This
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

This doesn't help, I already tried it and just tried again - ran it from an
elevated command prompt as admin - I still only get to 8MB/sec. I wonder
when someone from MS will weigh in, I know at least 3 people with this issue.
Is anyone reading this not having the problem? I'm running Ultimate, w Raid
drive, Linsys router, 4MB RAM, connecting to Buffalo NAS and Server 2000 file
stores

I too am seeing extremely slow (4-7 mb/s) transfers under Vista (x86
ultimate edition).
Vista PC's hardware:
- Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (as
reported by Vista - it's the onboard ethernet on an ASUS K8V)
- Athlon 64 3400
- 2gb RAM
The switch is a Netgear GS608.
Server-side is a dual xenon running CentOS 4.4 and Samba. When I boot
the Vista box into XP I regularly get 300-400 mb/s transfers to the
server.
The degraded performance is not limited to SMB; I've tested FTP and
netperf with similar results.
Last night I installed the latest Marvell Yukon drivers available from
the Marvell site. I think I got a slight improvement; nothing
significant.
I did notice (using Windows Task Manager) that my CPU is maxed out
during transfers. I suspect there's a driver setting somewhere that
is causing major CPU overhead. I don't see anything near this level
of CPU use when achieving much higher transfer rates in XP.

(Correction to above: I was seeing 30-40mb/s transfers under XP)
I found two culprits. I uninstalled VMware Server 1.01 (and it's
bridged and nat-ed interfaces) and my performance snuck up to 11mb/s
(still pegging the CPU to 100%). I then installed a Realtek 8169S-
based card in a free slot. After disabling my onboard Marvell Yukon
I'm seeing ~20mb/s with CPU at 50-60% on the new card.
So, if you're running VMware Server (and I suspect Player would have
the same problem) I recommend uninstalling it until they get the
performance thing straightened out. I also recommend the RTL 8169
over the Marvell Yukon; again until they get the performance
straightened out.
Hope this helps.

I'm having an issue using the Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 on Vista
Ultimate, any Gigabit switch and the Xbox 360 as a media center
extender.
Whenever the Yukon is in Gigabit mode playback of HD video on my 360
tears & breaks up, de-sync's audio & video or just drops out
completely, when I force the Yukon back to 100Mb by using a 100Mb
switch or actually forcing the speed and duplex in the ethernet
advanced settings playback is smooth with no issues.
Can anyone else confirm this?

I tried that change and did not see any improvement. I did a big improvement
with this:
netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
while this made a big improvement, I think think it is as fast as it should
be.
There is another issue where Vista takes up to 30 seconds to resend a packet
if lossed during transfer. See
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...fm/720119.html for more
infomation.
