I have a networking question that I would like you expertise in whenever possible:

I have the following items:

New HP Notebook w/ Vista Ultimate

Router: WRT300n – Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router
Linksys.com – Products/Wireless/Basic Networking/Broadband Routers/Wireless-N (draft 802.11n)WRT350N

(NAS) Network Attached Storage Device: My Book World Edition
My Book World Edition 1 TB Hard Drives ( WDG2NC10000 )

Internal Gigabit Network Adapter

I would like to know why I only get 3-4 MB per second transfer speed and nothing higher when transferring files from my HDD to my NAS?

It take almost 24 hours to xfer 450 GB of data....

I didnt know this, but it looks as if that command sets Vista's tuning of TCP/IP to 'off', in an effort to speed up raw network speed. Check here for more details:

MSFN Forums > Heres why TcpWindowSize does not work in Vista

Although the author doesnt seem to believe in its usefulness. I cant say as I havent tested it.

Transferring from a USB2 drive should not affect network transmission of files as USb2 has a throughput of 480Mbps.

You should see between 30-60MBps IF everything in your network is working properly:

PC -> Cat6 cable -> router gigabit port -> Cat6 cable -> gigabit port on your NAS

You need to check all your lights and connection staus messages throughout your network to ensure everything is talking on a gigabit connection.

If you wanted to take your router out of the equation for testing, you could get a Cat6 crossover cable and connect your PC directly to the NAS and then test throughput.
