First I just want to say I am well versed in networking, and computers in general. My job is being wholly responsible for maintaining a network of 30+ PC's, 3 linux servers, and 130+ dumb terminals. I just want to make it clear that, though I may not be a computer genius, I for sure know what I am doing, when it comes to home networking.
I just installed Vista on one of my PC's. I have a PC (Win XP) on my network that shares all my media files. With previous versions of windows like XP or even Win2k, I have NEVER had a problem like this.
I have the drives on the data server mapped on the Vista box. So lets say I navigate to the album I want. And drag the 12 or so tracks to the playlist in media player. Media player stops responding for literally 30-60 seconds until it finaly shows the songs on the list. 2-3 albums and I give up waiting after 2-3 minutes.
The data is on a defragged SATA 2 drive. The PC's are the only 2 on a 100Mbps network.
WHY is it doing this?
