Hello
I just installed a router for my cable modem. The NIC cards are the same model and brand, the computer running XP I get a speed test from msn.com\speed test of 1560 kb a second. The computer running Win98se gets a rating of 560 kb.
When I goto http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ XP gets 2.0 meg a second 98 gets 1.3 meg a second.
Is there something I can tweak in 98, even the registry if need be.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

Thank you very very much
That solved the problem now both computers are getting 2 meg a second.If I had known 98 was the problem I wouldn't have gone out and bought the router.I was using ICS and with XP it boots up much faster than 98 and XP wouldn't connect to the web, with the router that is no longer the case. Now that I have The router I like it.
Thanks again
