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

Bob,

I'm glad to help because I also learn or relearn this way.
Maybe the MTU number is too high for the win98 computer. Try 1492 in it and
see. I remember that in my win2k i couldn't use 1500 but 1492 was OK.

and your very welcome from Okinawa in the pacific ocean.
