    Hi,

    I have a small workgroup of 4 pcs 3 of which are xp machines and the other a 2k machine, data transfer on the network is fine between all xp
    machines and when accessing data which is stored on the 2k machine. However when the you are using the 2k machine and try to access data
    from any other PC the data transfer speed is terrible. Does any know why this may occur??

    Thanks in advance

    Look first at your cabeling.
    Sounds like the data pair on the cat5 is ok but the send pair is crossed up.

    White/Orange Orange and White/Green Green are the send and receive pairs.

    Speed up network (LAN) browsing in Win2K/XP
    Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)

    Rename the following registry entry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \Software
    \Microsoft
    \Windows
    \CurrentVersion
    \Explorer
    \RemoteComputer
    \Namespace
    \{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

    For example, you can rename it to:

    DISABLED {xxD6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

    This change prevents the browsing computer from checking for scheduled tasks on the remote machine before connecting, which is apparently the reason for the slowness.
