New Network - Win98 & WinXP mixed,,, sloooow transfer rates,,, any HELP??

Hi All,

I just formatted C on a local win98/winXP dual boot computer.
Win98 is installed on the C: drive and WinXP is installed on
the D:/ drive. I'm using the WinXP boot manager to do the
dual boot.

This computer is in a network with 4 other winXP computers via
an 8 port Linksys Router w/WAN connection to Internet

All the NIC cards in all the computers are Intel Pro PCI 100+ cards

1@ Win98 cpu -- PIII 1ghz (30gb hard drive 768mb memory)
1@ WinXP cpu - PIII 1.4ghz (60gb hard drive 1gb memory)
2@ winXP cpu - P4 2.2ghz (120gb hard drive 1gb memory)

I have the cards set at "auto detect" but have tried all the
combinations of 100/hdp and 100/fulldp, etc.

I've tried the reg hack in HKLM///namespace
I've tried to give more priority to the 'background' tasks' and
the network through configuring the QOS bandwidth.
I've tried the Adaptive IFS reg hack
Ive tried transfers to the other computer via 'network places" (ie:
drive not mapped on sending computer) and i've tried transfers to
the mapped drive on the sending computer.

and a few other hacks, well i'm still at the same place.

I'm transfering a 258MB folder from the Win98 to the WinXPpro machine
and vis-versa for the testing. This folder consists of 19 rar files.
I've tried both 'move' and "copy" when doing the test. Neither of
these operations varies the time for movement of the file between
computers.

I'm using windows Explorer to do the transfer of the folder,
ie: right clik-->send to-->other folder-->etc.

Win98 to WinXP 1:45 min. - approx 19mb/sec
WinXp to Win98 3:00 min - approx 11.4 mb/sec
WinXp to WinXP 2:40 min - approx 12.88 mb/sec

This seems real slow compared to the what the network 'could' do,,

where am I going wrong?

all help will be accepted and i'll try just about anything that looks
good,,
thanks,
