Performance issues transfering files across network

I am noticing a considerable performance issue when copying between two
laptops. First Vista calculates space but for very large shares it takes a
very long time to return activity. When i look at Performance monitor it
shows that network activity is passing through the adapter. I've rebooted
both laptops twice and Explorer hangs while doing large copy processes.
Just thought i'd mentioned to see if anyone else is experiencing a similar
problem.

Love the look of Vista, but I don't see any mass adoption happening soon.
Too many problems.

Yes I have seen similar behaviour. Initially when trying to copy a
file from Vista to XP.
Also when copying from Vista to Vista. Attempting to troubleshoot
using robocopy -
it appears that one of the machines drops off the network. However,
it does not
as I have other file transfers (P2P) related working correctly at the
time.

Also have problems connecting one Vista machine to an XP machine -
states password is
incorrect, even though a separate Vista machine is using the very same
credentials to connect
to the very same XP machine.

Any chance this could be master browser related? I have seen random
improvements depending upon
which of my 4 machines (2 vista, 2 xp) is up and running.
