[QUOTE="vaughaag, post: 1481996, member: 239260"] The problem now seems to be solved. I had an email in my inbox this morning from an Iomega support techy that listed a few things to check. Funnily enough, he advised changing the supplied CAT5 cable to a CAT6... The email went on and basically said 90% of slow transfer problems are the end users own network but then advised switching off most of the devices services. I was not keen on doing this as I did not understand why I should disable services the device is advertised as having. However, I switched them off one by one, reset the box and did a few trial transfers and I found that by disabling the Bluetooth service, the speed increased a little but when I disabled the Windows File Sharing and DFS services the speed increase was massive. So to sum up, I have disabled the Bluetooth, Windows File Sharing and DFS service and am now able to use the device as I expected to be able to. Having these services disabled is no big loss to me as we only have Windows devices attached to the network when friends come round. Thanks again for the replies and I hope this helps anyone else that may have this issue. Dave [/QUOTE]
