    I'm back again. In relation to a message that I posted
    yesterday - see below:
    ("I've set up a network between my laptop and my desktop
    and I need to transfer approx 6gb of data from my laptop
    to my desktop using a crossover cable. the desktop
    recognises the shared files but when I go to copy them
    across the transfer speed drops to about 12Kbps (Yes,
    thats Kbps). Using my broadband connection I am getting
    approx 58Kbps on my laptop but using the same connection
    on my desktop will give me a speed of only 10-13 Kbps.
    I've set and reset the duplex modes on both PCs. I've even
    replaced the network card on my desktop just in case it
    was faulty. The bottleneck is obviously on my desktop but
    I can't figure out where. Both machines run XP Home.
    My desktop is a Dell, 1.6ghz, 768mb SDRAM with approx 30gb
    of free space").
    I haven't had a solution or any ideas to sort the problem
    so if anyone could help me in any way I would be eternally
    grateful as this is doing my ******* head in!!!!!!
    Ta.
