I was waiting for someone to post something about this. I was starting to think
it was just me. Before I built an XP machine, I had all perfect-working Win98SE
machines talking at full 100Mb ethernet. Since I simply added an XP machine to the
network, the traffic across it was dropped. When from the XP machine, trying to
move or copy files, it takes nearly an entire minute for the transfer to even begin(And
when you're WAITING, a minute can be a very long time). I've heard of a patch for
this.. But I'm probably being mislead, because I've never seen anyone else have the
problem. I'm still looking, but I'm hoping someone has an idea on why XP is being
retarted like this. The other funny thing. When connecting to an FTP server I'm
running on the XP machine, it's a decent speed.
