I have Win XP loaded on my desktop and have 1 laptop with Win ME and 1 with Win 98. Here is the problem. I just bought a Linksys 4 port Ethernet Cable/DSL Router and hooked it up without a cable modem connection (plan on getting cable access soon). For now its just a hub. I connected all 3 machine to the hub and got them all to see eachother. On my Win ME machine I have a folder that is 650MB. From my Win 98 machine I browsed to the Win ME machine and copied the files and it took around 8 min. Now I did the same thing on my XP machine. On my XP machine I browsed to my Win ME machine and copy the same folder. This time it takes abour 30 min!!! WHY????? and what can I do about this? Shouldn't it be the same speed? I've forced the XP machines NIC to 100MB/Full Duplex and very little improvement. TCP/IP is on all and NetBeui on the 98 and ME machine. Do I need Netbeui on the XP machine?
