Hello everybody,
I just wanted you all to know that i have been experiencing all the same issues with Vista. However I decided to go to extreme measures. :P I completely uninstalled my firewall and antivirus software. CA Antivirus. Not just turned off but uninstalled. I also performed all the other tweaks like the mtu 1492, increasing throttle to 70 etc. Turned off the sidebar. Let me tell you I was beating my head against a wall since it worked great with my other XP laptop. Well after I uninstalled the CA antivirus which by the way would not recommend to any one, very slow and resource hog. I just used because it was free from my internet provider. Any way Now VISTA is SMOKIN Fast on the built GIG and Jumbo enabled NAS NV+ I backup up my wholes system with 250g of data and 100g free space. In about 2 hours. Using a D link 655 Extreme router wired connection of course. I also tried the wireless after, and it took almost 4 hours. But still better then 9 days.. :) Or freezing up completely. So please try and remove all you 3rd party firewalls and antivirus to see if that helps. and post your comments would love to know. I love the readynas NV+ but would like to upgrade to the pro versions soon. I have been using it for about a year before netgear bought infrant out.
Also here is a link to explain how to change your mtu setting in vista
