Cool, I hadn't thought of the switch being involved with the problem! But... I swapped switches with my dev hub (Hawking 5-port 10/100) and although the first few K copied much faster (24k/sec instead of 7), by 3 seconds in to the copy it had slowed down to 7.5k again. Sigh. Both adapters have...

G'day Mike, My bad, I forgot to mention that I've disabled IPV6 already on the W7 machine, and XP SP3 doesn't have any IPV6 drivers that I can see. So in my Properties page for the adapter on W7, I have checked : - Client for MS networks - File and Printer Sharing - IPV4 - Link-layer topo...

This is a weird one... I have W7 x64 Ultimate on 10.10.10.2, connected via a switch to 10.10.10.1, my internet gateway running XP x32 SP3 (etc etc).

That's great to hear, I suffer from chronic digital diarrhoea... The best results in terms of speed and usability will be if you dual-boot the W98 system. That way, you're not emulating hardware, and anything likely to be hardware-bound will have problems even running Virtual PC 2007. I'm not...

Here's my experience with 64-bit OSes. Hopefully this will clarify some things that have been erroneously mentioned in this thread. I've been using XP x64 for 3 years, and W7 Ultimate x64 (RC and now retail) since the RC was available. So I've suffered every possible problem (except for...
