Corrupted Files Over LAN
I have noticed that when I transferred files over my LAN that they sometimes
became corrupted. I found it was the NIC in my main computer causing problem. It is an ASUS P5B motherboard with onboard Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 100/100/1000Base-T adapter. I had Vista x64 look for newer drivers and a newer driver was found but I still had corruption of files leaving computer. After much searching I found the suggestion of setting Task Offload=off in the driver settings fixed the problem. Turning off Task Offload seems to have cut the gigabit LAN transfer speed by half but it is still better than having corrupted files. I am posting this fix to help anyone else with this trouble. Has anyone else had this problem with the NIC's in an ASUS motherboard? I am guessing Atheros is not a very good NIC brand as I have never had a problem like this before. |

I didn't find any references to your specific problem, however I did see a host of other problems with Atheros (formerly Attansic) controllers... Windows refusing to boot with the latest Windows Update driver, etc. A workaround would be to install a separate network card and disable the Atheros. Or upgrade from Vista to XP :-) |

The Gigabit controllers mentioned with with my last two Asus system generations (A8N-E and M3A32-MVP) were Marvell. Luck; Ken |

Me thinks it was ment that Vista is not all that great and you would be up-grading by going to XP-Pro.... still running 2k pro here, but thought vista would be better, still dont know yet. its really all the same software and upgrades are really needed only when current os wont handle new hardware properly... ie:32 gigs of memory. and I thought DOS was cool had a Commodore 64.

Bing bing we have a winner. Win2K is best. XP is a security nightmare, although the best MS option for 64-bit. Vista? An outright disaster. |

Bing bing we have a winner. Win2K is best. XP is a security nightmare, although the best MS option for 64-bit. Vista? An outright disaster. Funny you bring up security as that is the biggest improvement Vista bring to the table. A lot of moaners complain about UAC but I like getting a notification if some third rate application is trying to modify system settings. I run Vista x64 on a quad core with 8 GB so it takes ~35 seconds to boot up. I had a dual boot Vista x64/XP at first but I got rid of the XP drive recently as I never used it. It just seemed old, dull and a big waste of RAM. The signed driver enforcement is a drag or old obscure peripherals. I got plenty of old computers that do OK with XP. I put Vista 32-bit on an old P4-3.0GHz w/2 GB RAM and it runs OK. It takes a while to get used to the way Vista is set up but after a while it is no problem. It sure looks a lot nicer. My wife made me install on her computer when she saw Vista on mine. Now days the new DirectX 10 games run faster in DX10 mode than DX9. This reminds me of when Windows 95 first came out. The news groups were flooded with complainers who hated Win 95 and were all going back to Win 3.1. I wonder how many are still using Windows 3.1? If your hardware cannot support Vista, stick with XP, 2000 or 3.1 if that is what works. |

If your hardware cannot support Vista, stick with XP, 2000 or 3.1 if that is what works. It's not a question of what your hardware can support. Run through the list of services/processes on a new Vista install, and the amount of bloat (not to mention potential security holes) is beyond belief. As for UAC, it's the first thing people disable in Vista, because of MS's horrible and lazy implementation. No one wants to click 10 or 20 braindead dialog boxes to do any bit of routine maintenance or administration on a system. Vista was just another excuse for MS to sell the same OS (practically) one more time to consumers. DX10 would have been faster and far more easily coded for Win2K than Vista. |
