Pete, thanks, I think the fixed size Swap File sounds ((excellent)) as I've noticed that once swapping begins it gets very drawn out, indeed....
Hi, I have two very strange problems that have developed. 1. Deleting a file can take up to 60 seconds. For sure, the first delete after...
Newt, good thought. It's not worth it to chase after ghosts in the night like Bill Murray unless you just like the chase. This isn't worth it,...
Hi Ramber and Newt, Well I tried. I set both NICs to do 100mbps at full duplex. No more auto detection or setting of the speeds, etc. It...
Rambler, thanks for the input. Both NICs are on autopilot at 100mbps. What do you suggest because the duplexing issue is something I'm...
Newt, I just tried what seems to make no sense but I did it anyway: I swapped IPs between the two machines, changed the hosts files to match and...
Hi, Newt, What I'm finding is that using the -a argument with the IP does not resolve to the host name. That is within or without the LAN. That...
Newt, I put hosts in the \windows directory of the 98 machine, and on XP it's in \windows\system32\drivers\etc. Nope, ping doesn't return the...
Hi, Newt, Yep, here's the stats you asked me about: ************ Pinging 192.168.0.3 with 16 bytes of data: Request timed out....
Newt, Yeh, boy, I'll go for it if you are still game. Curiously, the Windows browsing has been fine on both machines lately. The only thing...
Newt, wow, I've been knocked off line for quite some time (ISP problems), and I don't usually let threads sit idle like I did here. But I'm...
Newt, I'm going to try the Static IP routine again in the morning. I must have ******* something last time. I'll betcha either I didn't turn off...
Hi, Newt, Well, some progress here. I made all the tweaks to the Registry on the XP machine, rebooted, and lo, the slow down to browsing the 98...
Yes, Newt, I'm OK with Registry tweaking. Before I do that I thought I'd drop you a line to see if you had anything to say about the ping...
Newt, thanks for the suggestions. I followed them: Got rid of NetBEUI, went to static IPs, tried mapping roots of drives, logged onto to both...
Ping -----> Newt (edit note: this was a seperate thread but I've merged the two of them into this one - Newt) Hi, Newt, Favor to ask - could...
I just made the change over from a proxy-served LAN to a DSL modem with a built in router. It's far superior to have the machines work...
KT600, I never saw the need for NetBEUI until TCP/IP just didn't do what it was supposed to do for Explorer browsing between machines, and adding...
Hi, I just fixed some Explorer browsing issues on our new two machine network (WIN98 and XP Pro) that runs through an ActionTec DSL modem with a...
Yes, Johanna, it saves an enormous number of clicks. For those of us working with this stufe tf all day, every day, it's more than a little time...
