i have a win xp machine and me both computers have 100mb nics, when i send small file to each other it takes a pretty long time maybe 2 to 5 mins for 1mb file, when i send a big file or directory it says like 6mb 10mins and about 2mins into it i get a error specified network name is no longer available, please help

i have 2 computers, One using a XP os and the other a ME os both using 100mb nic's. Both computers go through a hub i use the wizerd to set it up that way on the xp coputer, I copy the thing to the disk after the wizerd is done so i can run it on my ME computer and i set up the same way, on the ME computer it locks up when i go to Network Neighborhood/Enter network but when i shut my xp machine off it works fine but dosnt see other computer(because i shut it off) and on the XP computer it see's the ME computer but when i try to send files to it it takes for ever like 1mg file takes like 10 mins or longer, and if i copy something from the ME computger to the XP computer it dosnt do anything. PLEASE HELP

i did all that, both computers see each other i can send files ither way, but if i send a large file 6mb or bigger it says about 10 mins and 2 mins into it i get a error, network no longer available or busy

ok something is deffently wrong then cause both my computers have 100mb nic's

that file went though in 5 mins i tried to copy the whole directory 3gb said it will take about 829mins and i got a error 2mins into it saying server busy

yes fire wall is off, i went under the me computer network setting and unselected file share from all the protoicals except the nic ipx. also selected the default box for ipx never seen that before thank you, im trying to send that file back accorss that took 9 mins now it says 5 mins does that sound right?

Ok i finally got home to try this ipx thing installed it on both system unstalled netbui on both systems put netbios under tcp/ip on xp machine back to default setting, on the me machine went into bindings under the tcp/ip prop's and unselected file sharing. Restarted both computers went into the network tryed to copy a 18MB file from ME to XP and it said 9mins then 2mins into it i get a error saying ( cannot copy (file im trying to copy) the specific network name is no longer available.) I hit ok everything disapears. Also seems like network is taken kinda long to search through agin. someone please help

last night i was up to about 2am trying to get it all to work i changed the settings for both nics to 100 full duplex, the netbios under tcp/ip on the XP machine i selected the second selection not the default one that xp has it set to. Deleted that reg key everyone talks about installed netbui off the xp cd and restared both systems. My ME machine dosnt freez up now when i go into network neighborhood/workgroup it sees the XP machine, my XP machine dosnt take half a day to look into a directory no more but i try to copy one directory from XP to ME or ME to XP and it says its going to take like 900 mins and about 3 mins into it i get a error saying system no longer aviable but i can go back into the network from ither machine with no problem just file transfer is slow. Do you think i should still try the ipc protical on both machines?

the fire wall is off, and yes all my cables are crossover

Yes it does, i can log into my ME computer but it is just slow as ****, usually just closes cause it takes to long, on my ME computer to XP computer it freezes up as soon as i double click on workgroup
