Vista Vs Server 2003

 



I recently bought a new laptop with Vista Home pre-installed. I have a basic
no-frills server at home with windows 2003 server sp2 installed. I also have
an XP Home computer. All are set up on the same workgroup, and I can see all
the computers from the 2003 server and the XP Home machine, but from Vista I
can only see the XP Home machine. The idea is to use the 2003 server to store
common and backup files for the Vista and XP machine. I can copy and archive
from XP Home to 2003 server, but cannot do so from Vista. I can see the Vista
machine from 2003 server, but cannot do anything more.
Can Vista Home be configured to archive files to a Windows 2003 Server, and
if so, how? Simple please - I am not an IT professional.

  1. I have reinstalled Vista on this system for the umpteenth time. Happily the problem is now one of performance, although it could be easily be mistaken for hanging. If I copy a 10 MB file.from. a share on the Windows 2003 server it takes only a few seconds. If I copy it.to. the same folder it takes around 5 minutes.
  2. I have an application written in VB6 that creates a ADO connection using the (native SQL2005 clien)t from the client to SQLServer 2005 on Server 2003 configured as a stand alone server. The application works great on XP and has for a number of years. Now I am attempting to deploy in Vista and using the same code the connection speed CRAWLS.
