Hi, Guest
We've actually found a massive issue with large network transfers where the TCP/IP stack and the network driver itself for the Dell Latitude / Precision M-series Gigabit network cards goes for a dump. It's reboot or enjoy only the perception of network connectivity. No BIOS revision updates, any flavour of the network card drivers or anything else seems to fix the problem. The laptops are constantly docked and undocked so a PCMCIA network card is out of the question. It shouldn't be needed, really. We've run them docked and undocked for days at a time with the exact same issue.
Because of this alone, the only 2 Vista laptops I had in production (after fighting this bug for months) have gone back to XP.
This is a full YEAR since the release of Vista. This is beyond f***ing inexcusable. It's assinine.
