Looking for: Vista Network Helper v1.x or HELP n9nu <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/30/2008 5:08:49 AM I am experiencing very slow (7-11MB per second) transfers from a Vista 64 Box (SP1) to my FreeNAS box which runs FreeBSD a couple of feet away. All Linux and BSD boxes can transfer, via FTP, between each other at around 60-90MB/sec...which is more like it. This Vista box however, is a bottleneck. All NIC's are Intel Pro 1000 via CAT 6 cable. I have each of the workstations (6 linux, 3 BSD and 1 Vista 64) connected to a HP 16 port Gigabit managed switch. Before the switch, I have my a Mikrotik RouterOS box running via Linux which acts as the Internet gateway and/or router via Masquerading. I saw the reference to Vista Network Helper and it looks to be what I am looking for, but I tried all sources to find a valid download link to no avail. Can anyone post a current link or pm/email me with the info? Of course, if anyone has a more direct (edit the registry) type deal, I would be all ears. According to my references from 'www.enterprisenetworkplanet.com' (http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3485486), the key values for Vista I need to change would be: - TcpWindowSize ~131400 (decimal value) - Tcp13230pts - value of 3 (RFC1323 scaling and time stamping) - ForwardBufferMemory ~80000 - NumForwardPackets ~60000 According to that site, and I know those values above pertain to XP, I should see a big performance gain transferring files via TCP With Linux and BSD it is just so straight forward and simple, but with Vista I am bit confused on a few of the options. I do not expect to get as fast as with the Linux or BSD clients, but I would like at least 40+MB/sec via FTP.
