It was symantec!! The uninstall didn't go through properly the first time, redid it...voila! Piece of garbage! Freakin corporate edition, you'd think it would work well in a business environment...retards. I hate them so much right now, but thank you all for your help!!! Just installed NOD32, hopefully I wont have the same issue then I can just purchase the full version.

Yep i'm using SP1 and windows file share. I looked through all the event logs and i did not see a single 4662 occurance. I guess that means I don't need to bother with the TCP/IP business. Any other idea's?? I am just so lost here with this issue.

Thank you, I'll try this this afternoon. I'm looking at the msfn.org instructions...I don't get it? I see one part is just a registry edit, for the second part, should I be opening tcpip.sys in a hex editor?

removed symantec early in the morning. no change. by 4pm i was running into the same problem

Thank you for the idea but I have it set to high performance, the hard drive is set to never go into any power save mode.

I have 6 client computers, one 'server' computer. they're on a peer network (workgroup) that uses a shared folder on the server. they are all running vista business x32. Everytime the server has been on and the clients transfer files back and forth (nothing big, just 10-1000kb at most) for a 4-5 hours suddenly one or two clients start running SUPER slow. The server becomes almost unresponsive to their file requests. If i go over to the server and use it, it appears to be fine. If i restart it, the clients are automatically able to transfer at normal speeds again (mind you i dont have to restart the clients). What is the problem here? I: 1) replaced the network card 2) did the netsh autotuning disabled thing 3) disabled tcpip v6 4) disabled QOS packet scheduler 5) changed the network cable and the port it uses on the hub 6) Power management set to high performance (thanks for the thought GrofLuigi) I had this set from the second i booted up the computer 7) Removed Symantec (thanks to nitro & club) but to no avail What else can i do? The server is not running any extra software, except symantec corp...which every client also runs. it's a brand new dell optiplex 755 core 2 duo, with 2gig of ram and 2 80gb 7200 rpm sata2 disks on raid 1. This problem makes ZERO sense to me. Please help! I'm THINKING it mighttt be something about how many simultaneous connections the computer can have to it?? Is there anyway to increase this? I know xp pro was 10 and that was due to a licensing issue but i'm wondering if it's lower with vista??
