I had identical symptoms with my onboard network, though it was an RTL8169 chipset. After doing a lot of digging, and trying a lot of things in vain (tried changing some network settings, and lots of stuff in smb.conf) I finally came across someone mentioning that a different network card fixed his problem. I went to Microcenter and looked at all the boxes (they're kind enough to put high-res pictures on the front now, so I could recognize the chipsets on every box) and found the only one that wasn't a Realtek chipset. It was a D-Link DGE-530T, and it works wonderfully for most things. I can now transfer to and from that server via samba from XP, OSX and Linux with blazing speeds, but Vista is still only mediocre, though significantly better than before. -- Justin Kremer
