Poor Network performance with WHS
I just installed Win 7 HP on an I5-750 based system. It is a high performance configuration but the network performance stinks. The motherboard (Gigabyte) uses a realtek network chip and the network is all gigabit. My older computer using exactly the same network and server was about 10 times faster to transfer large files. Anyone have any ideas? Jim

Did your older computer have the same MB? SC Tom

My previous MB was an ASUS A8-SLI Premium which also had two onboard Gb ports. It had an Athlon-64 3600 processor. I suspect both support Gb transfers unless you have data to the contrary. Jim No. I would think it would support Gb transfers as is. I assume you got all the latest 32- or 64-bit drivers (whichever you need)from Gigabyte for it? Have you tried the other LAN jack? Or are you teaming the two? What are you running for a firewall, or is all of that on your server? If the firewall is external to your workstation, have you tried disabling the local firewall? Has anything else changed, such as new software or hardware on the server? SC Tom Latest drivers installed and the other LAN jack has a metal tab (removeable) covering it. No teaming - obviously - windows firewall nothing has obviously changed although Power Pack 3 installed itself on the server but it was during Win 7 install. Jim

Jim Do you have anything unusual showing in the event log? Is your antivirus set up any differently? Try transferring a large file with it off (a trusted file, of course) and see if that makes a difference. -- SC Tom

If the firewall is external to your workstation, have you tried disabling the Nothing in the event logs, however, upon further testing I have discovered that sending a file is very fast (600Mb/S) but receiving is only about 10Mb/s. I may have to uncap and enable the other port to see if this changes anything. Jim

I downloaded a newer driver from their web site which improved the performance but not by much. I dug through my parts and discovered a Trendnet Gig card and installed it. Surprise, it had the same chip on it but the performance was now symmetric - 600Mb both ways to server - and it uses the same driver! I have a case open with GB so we'll what they have to say. im

I have a case open with GB so we'll what they have to say. im Kinda what I thought. I've never had much luck with the onboard NIC's. I have a Netgear gigabyte card that also has a Realtek chip, but has been rock-solid for at least 2 years now. The onboard NIC on my Asus board (Nvidia driven) quit being reliable about 2 months after I installed it. Glad you got your transfer rates back where they should be! -- SC Tom
