For an EasynNAS nv+ in a gigabit ethernet this is not blazing fast! A lot of people are getting way better results here!

I checked/tried :

- The EasyNAS front-end was not running when testing.
- The new and short cat 5e cable was provided to me by Dlink so it must be optimal!
- i'm using the lastest Vista-compatible drivers for my network card
- i'm not using a UPS
- i disabled my trend micro virus scanner
- i enabled 'jumbo frames' in Vista and on the EasyNAS but this made things worse or didn't change anything (can't remember) but certainly no improvement!
- tried the two add-ons (vistaboost and oplocks), together and seperately but this made things worse or no improvement (can't remember)
- tried disabling journaling completely but no improvement whatsoever!

i'm running out of ideas.... anyone?

thanks
Kris
