Peer To Peer Networks

by support . Updated 24 years, 3 months ago

Hi there

I have a client on a peer to peer network. There are 5 computers, two Windows98SE, two Win95 and one Windows 2000 pro. THe Hub is only a 10mb Netgear, they do not really need a faster one yet because the files or drawings they send to each other are really small anyway. But the problem I have is, whilst the lesser machines can read each other really quickly and can read into the 2000 machine quite quickly (they all have their rights assigned). The Problem is the 2000 machine takes an age to see other machines on the network unless I map a drive. I have spoken to Dell regarding this issue and they told me to download the latest 3Com Network drivers and the SP2 pack for Windows 2000, which I have now done and the problem stillremains. Does anyone else have this problem or experienced this or can you help

Cheers Alan
