Recently I've upgraded the OS on both of my machines and networking just became really slow. I was running Win98 on both machines before and I didn't have a problem with network speed but Now that after I've upgraded to a Win2K Pro and WinMe Box, here's the problems I'm beginning to have: Networking really slow, when I browse the network in the network neighborhood it's really really slow, takes ages to load up. And when I tried to copy files back and forth, it would take ages! Copying a 100Meg folder would take 365minutes?? What da? It use to only take about 5 minutes! maybe less even, Obviously there's something wrong. I'm using WinRoute Lite on the Win2k Machine because I needed to forward a ports to my WinME machine for a certain application, therefore I can't erase WinRoute, [unless someone can tell me if Win2k itself has a port forwarding util or if there's a way to forward a port in win2k?] Anyways, I recall seeing some tweaks I can do in the registery? I can't remember anymore... it was a while ago. Anyways, thanks for anyone who can help.

geez, nope that didn't help at all... it's the same. Why is this?? I do have ipx/netbios and everything installed, took out that registery key, but still the same slow browsing and copying thru win2k<->winme boxes....

Wow thanks! I'm gonna try thay out and let you know if it works. But I do have a question though, about the IPX thingy, well, I was thinking about that myself too so I installed the IPX Protocols along with the netbios thingy. And I did the same for the WinMe machine as well. But for some reason it's still taking ages to copy a file, perhaps I have the IPX protocol installed but yet, win2k is still using the TCP/IP protocol to do the file transfers among my LAN? Now how would I tell my win2k to use only IPX to copy files thru my LAN? by the way thanks for your great reply.

I'm running Win2k with SP1 installed, the other day I was trying to setup my Dreamcast machine to dailup to connect to my Win2k Box, I have a nice USR 56k modem installed on my Win2k Box, so here's what I did. I clicked on Dailup networking and networking setup, then I checked Setup an incomming connection, then It gave me 2 choices of connecting using modem or direct connection, I chose the modem only. Then everything was set and I now have a Incomming connection icon in my dialup networking setup folder. I right click on the icon and the "status" part is grayed out, but I could click on properties. Now I was wondering, how come it didn't have a box like Win9x/Me has that allow you to choose "Allow caller Access". Does anyone know what box I'm talking about? The window allows you to control if you can allow caller access or not. But anyways, so I tried using my cell phone and I called my Line connected to the modem. The modem didnt' pick up. Geez, what's going on... I have a WinME machine on the other side of the room it's networked. So I tried connecting the modem there and try setting up the dialup networking method, and it worked. It would pick up incoming calls. But it wouldn't do it for my win2k box. Why ??
