Delay and Irresponsive during Network Connection Enabled

[miku 0]

Hi Guys,

 

I have 2 networked computer using hub.

 

Server has 2 NIC one connected to hub and the other to cable modem.

Workstation has 1 NIC connected to hub.

 

Both have Windows XP Pro SP1. ICS is enabled.

 

The problem is that when network connections are enabled and I want to open some sort of file or go to My Computer, there is a delay and the computer becomes irresponsive for like 10seconds or so. This doesn't happen if I disable the network connection. This behaviour is same on both computers.

 

One computer is 1.4Ghz and the other is 450Mhz.

 

Any ideas why this happens.

 

Thanks.

No,

 

I already did that deleting the registry thing, but it didn't work out.

 

Any other suggestions
