This just seems like a really bad thing to happen to people, I mean its one thing for us, people that arent really running a business or are servers are life or death, but for a business they are, and to take a speed cut out of their T3 going from 44.5mbits to 3mbits could destroy them, certainly something microsoft may want to look in to.

I just posted a message on the Server 2003 beta boards, so hopefuly someone there will have the answer. :p

Any luck with this? I'll vouch for ezeikiel1 (sp?) that as soon as he had XP back up and running the problem was 100% gone and even a little extra, probly cause of the pci card.

I'm having exactly the same problem on my lan with 10 clients,, speed has really dropped,

this is just a wild guess but windows server 2003 introduces some sort of new secure transimssion called SMB its installed by default,, could this be the problem?

i dont really know much about it but what i do kno is that i need my speeds back, this is unacceptable for ms to do this to users.

I seem to remember a reference to stoping using it until you could buy it... is there any possiblility everyone having problems isusing a warezed copy? and that MS did this to limit warezed copies? ie. once it determines it is warezed it just drops performance to low levels?

nah don't think they would do that

Yea, i dont think it could be that, cause I know other people running the same version, and they dont seem to have that problem. And it shouldnt be smb, smb is just samba i think and they have decided to automatically include it this time, but samba is a standard on other platforms, and has been used in windows before.

This is very annoying, i notice a slight lag in the network too. There has got to be a solution to this, maybe a registry setting or something. I am hoping for a fix very soon. What is strange tho, is that this problem didnt exist with earlier versions (RC1, RC2 and Pre-RTM). Did this bug slip thru without ms knowing?

Also I saw a report on Binks site saying ms has pulled windows server 2003 from msdn. Does this mean anything or have any connection?

Any chance of a link to the relevant page?

I found a few things on msdn regarding terminals services could be causing it if there are alot of mapped drives etc... Im not even sure if i installed term services on it anyway, but i will check tomorrow.

Im hoping there is a quick fix for this.

lol smb is actually server message block , samba was a name made up around that acronym for *nix compatibility.

SMB is always installed with windows, its the protocol used when you browse the network neighbourhood, when you type //128.0.0.2 etc.

You're definetly barking up the wrong tree there ;)

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
