I have 2 computers networked together. Both are running WinXP Pro. My main computer is a pIII800 with 128 mb sdram. The other is a pIII 1 ghz with 128 mb sdram. I use 2 ASOUND ethernet cards and use a 16' ft section of cable.
I set the network speed to 10mbps (not auto detect) with full duplex enabled (not auto detect).
I use them to share my ISP connection, to play games and to share files.
The Problem: I can share my ISP just fine, albeit it connects by itself sometimes. I SEEM to be able to play games fine, only Unreal Tournament so far. BUT, anytime I try to view the other computers files from my main computer it not only takes a long time to open a folder, but once in I can do nothing with the files. Either Explorer will quit responding or it will say that it cannot find the remote drive anymore. I have been able to move files from my computer to the 2nd one, but only twice so far.
When I try to view my main computers files from the 2nd computer, it won't even open up my folders at all. The same cannot connect to remove files/folders etc... Sometimes the maching will even lock up so I need to reboot or BSoD...
Yes, I am pretty confident I have all the permissions and folders/drives shared correctly. I have no firewall, not even for my ISP. I removed the registry setting as told here: http://www.xp-erience.org/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=71 to speed up folder browsing... Hell, I even pulled out the Network cards and put them back in to make sure there wasn't a hair stuck in the PCI slot or something...
If you need to know anything else, I check the forums a lot and will post reply...
Thanks
