To set the TCP/IP Auto-Tuning Level back to Vista default, use this command: netsh interface tcp set global autotuningl=normal Look for Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level: Disabled ( Figure). To check, you can run the command netsh interface tcp show global. At the command prompt, type netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled. At the top of the Start menu (under the Programs header), you will see cmd.exe listed right-click this entry, and from the context menu click Run as administrator ( Figure) (you can also press the Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys simultaneously after you typed cmd in Vista's Start Search box, this will also get you an elevation prompt to run cmd.exe in administrator mode). To do this, you'll have to open an elevated command prompt:Ĭlick Vista's Start button, and in the Start Search box type cmd. If you run the Internet Connectivity Evaluation tool, and it shows that your router does not support "TCP Extensions for High Performance", you can either change your router, or switch off the feature in Vista.

#NETWORK FILE SHARING WINDOWS VISTA DRIVERS#
The very first thing you should do when having connection problems with Vista on your network is to check for updated drivers for your network card on the manufacturer's Web site. Microsoft has released an Internet Connectivity Evaluation tool to test your router's compatibility. Microsoft has acknowledged (see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 932134) that Windows Vista may not function correctly with "outdated routers". You typically receive an error message that you don't have permission to copy the file. You might be able to connect to another computer just fine, but as soon as you try to copy a file, you run into trouble. One particular problem involves connectivity problems between Vista and previous Windows versions (mostly XP) when they are on the same network. There are many people complaining about Windows Vista networking. Access to shared folders, including the public folder (if shared), requires a user name and password, so I suggest using usernames and passwords on all your computers. One of the differences between Windows XP and Vista is that Windows Vista by default does not allow simple file sharing. The networking problems discussed here are based on the assumption that you have a network that is working fine, but adding a Windows Vista computer to the network creates problems connecting this Vista computer to your network.įirst, take some time to read through this Microsoft TechNet article that describes File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista.
