Chris, Have you had any luck resolving you problem? I have been looking for a solution
also. I have a Win98se Desktop and a XP Laptop on a home 10/100 network using a Linksys
Cable/DSL router. I can copy files from the Win98 machine to the XP machine OK.
A 7Mb file takes less than 10 seconds but going from XP to Win98 takes about 6 or
7 minutes. I did find a work around on the Microsoft site (Knowledge Base Article
Q315237) for XP but it didn't help. Don't know what else to check. Thanks!
