Slow Network problem (2 separate network, same problem)
I will try to be as descriptive as I can. I have the same problem on 2 different network.
Network #1 - Home
Linksys WRT54G, Wifi, WAP, Mac restricted, running DD-WRT
Problem: Network is very slow and sometime timeout.
Main Computer: WinXP Pro (we call it A)
Second Computer: WinXP Pro (we call it B)
Third Computer: Win 2000 Pro (we call it C)
Forth Computer: Mac OS X (we call it Mac
Computer is C doing Internet file transfer (dl/ul). If I try to access this computer with computer A, it work most of the time. I can access it easily and file transfer are fast. But sometime, few file will timeout
But if I try to access Computer A with Computer B, the speed is awful (we talk about 2 digit ko/sec !) and most of the time timeout (Windows will give an error that the source file, or destination is not accessible anymore (sorry, no real message, I run all my computer in french)
I also have the same problem with Mac trying to access Computer A. Wired or wireless.
So beside A to C and C to A that work "most of the time", the network simply is unreliable. (I find myself using a Memory stick more often than the network)
-----
I also have the same problem with a small business network that I installed.
Router is Netgear
3 computer all running Windows 2000 Pro. One is a Server that store all their files.
The Software they use which share file and DB on the server have no problem. But if they try to access the server directly to share files computer to computer, the transfer timeout (and Windows explorer.exe usually crash)
This network have not much activity compared to the network at home. There is no dl/ul activity.
I have no idea what the problem is.
thanks for help
