1326521 2013-02-07 20:18:00 Be aware there can be some obscure network issues that will only show up during large transfers, I can't remember the specifics but I know it's network card and/ or driver related and on one machine I had to delve into the advanced settings of IPv4 and disable a couple of things or my network crawled on one particular computer.

currently I have two machines running windows 7 on one and 8 on the other and couldn't get homegroup to work properly (could see shares but not access them and trying brought my PC to a halt for ages). Somewhere amongst all my attempts to fix it I seem to have killed the homegroup which no longer functions despite being enabled on both PCs but the good news is that normal windows file sharing now works perfectly between them.

Microsofts attempts to simplify home networking seem a bit hit and miss to me, sometimes Homegroup works well and is simple to set up, but when it doesn't you might as well give up and go back to old style networking because troubleshooting it is a nightmare.
