Copying files using Windows 7 causes network traffic
I've mapped the C drive of my Readynas as "admin" to the Y drive of my Windows 7 PC and despite having done the same as on my Windows XP PC, this has a totally different behaviour:
When copying a file/folder from one location within the share to a another location within the same share, the Windows 7 PC seems to download the files locally until copying to the Readynas location. This happens whether the network connection is wired or wireless (the only difference being the speed but in both cases, I can clearly see that the data is being transmitted over the network).
Is this something inherent with Windows 7?

- I am seeing big traffic on a Win7 machine as well. Why would traffic have to travel from a USB attached drive (attached to NAS) thru the PC, then back to the NAS? Just discovered this. Will post back if I come up with something.
