win2008 shares hang with win7 clients

[4johnny]

I have a win2008 storage server with many shared folders on it. When an XP client tries to access those shares from the network, the directory listing is almost immediate. When a win7 client tries to access the shares, most of the time there is a lag of 10-20 seconds before a directory listing is displayed. The same is true when trying to establish an RDP connection.

I have disabled autotuning, heuristics, remote differential comp on both server and win7 clients with no effect. I temporarily disabled antivirus on server with no effect.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks,

John

Had a similar issue with Shares taking forever and just did a workaround of sorts. Mapping the shared content made it almost instantaneous. I was not able to pinpoint the reason why as you havent yet. At least that is a workaround until better minds enlighten both of us.

yea i have tried mapped drives and it still hangs with them as well.
btw, do you have symantec endpoint protection installed on your PCs with network threat protection enabled on clients? just curious...

Nope, no Symantec anything.

I'd suggest IPv6 being the problem. Try disabling IPv6 on the client and see if it solves/improves it.

I have same issue, it hangs while copying to mapped drives and I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on clients with network threat protection enabled.
The clients with windows xp don't have this issue.
I booted at Safe Mode with Networking and there is no problem. So I think it is the SEP antivirus that is causing conflicts.
I tried disabling the SEP antivirus and there is no issue, but I cannot leave the computers without the antivirus enabled.
Any idea?

Maybe this:

Usually a good idea to open up your own thread for your problem and link to a similar instead of hijacking another thread.

so I made a discovery this weekend when I unchecked the IPv6 checkbox on the server, I got a message "the system detected a conflict for IP address 100.100.100.9, with the system having the NIC address of 00-1E-C9-5B-E4-C7 . The server has a static address of 100.100.100.9 and when it was offline, i was still able to ping that address. so It appears that there is another PC online with that address but I cannot track it down. I have visited every PC and printer in the building and cannot find the culprit. I cannot RDP or VNC into it. An IPscanner does not pick it up either.

So how does one track down a rogue PC like this? I do have MAC address to work with.....any IDEAS?

Thanks
