Network Speed

SoberTillNoon · Sep 27, 2006, 09:38 AM

First off, I am using build 5728. If I should go back to 5600, let me know.

Anyway, my net speed is piss poor. I can boot into XP and get dl speeds of almost 2 MBps (mega bytes) while in vista, I can barely access windows vista's own website; it will just not load.

I have not done any research, as I just installed vista yesterday, so try not to flame me too harshly.

System Specs:
AMD 64 4600+
nVidia Nforce 4 Ultra chipset
400 GB SATA HD
250 GB, 20 GB PATA HD
Radeon X1900 All-In-Wonder
2.50 GB RAM

what kind of your network adapter, and does it need a driver for the vista to recognize it?

I bet 20€ that he is using the nVidia's adapter...

And Welcome to DH SoberTillNoon

It is the mobo adapter. Also, it worked just as crappy before I installed the x64 mobo drivers (which I did in XP...).

I have Vista x64 build 5728 installed, using the nForce 4 Ultra's net adapter.. I haven't seen any performance drops on it ... since the Vista is in beta stage and drivers for it are, i would expect things like this to appear...

Well, turned out it was vista. I just went to "diagnose and repair" in the Network and Sharing center. Turns out there was some kind of TCP conflict.

vista get blamed again, poor vista!

SoberTillNoon · Sep 28, 2006, 03:26 PM

No, vista is not getting blamed. I think it did an excellent job knowing that it had a problem and then fixing it. I just wish I had found how to make it look sooner.

okay, so how's it going? better than or about same as the 5600 builds?

SoberTillNoon · Sep 29, 2006, 08:48 AM

I have not really noticed a difference. Maybe some optimizations but not anything I can tell. Though, something in my XP install is screwing with my D (vista install) drive and I have to reformat it again, I think I am going to use Vista as my primary for the time being because I do not want to have to reinstall two operating systems, just one.

well, with your hardware i think you can enjoy it more than other with a more lower spec computer...
not talking about software bugs, its useablility or flexibility with programs and hardware/software services/drivers things like that...
since we can't have it all at this beta builds as you knew, so those things will have to be a tradeoff as of now.

Just to add for anyone who is having this problem, it is the Advanced TCP Settings that Vista likes to put on that did this. But, to be fair, I think it is my school's old hardware that is causing the conflict.
