I can't get two computers (DELL - XP Pro and GATEWAY- XP home), connected by
a netgear WGR614 router - by wired connections - to communicate quickly
enough. It takes ages to open/save/copy files between these machines. And
when I try to copy 2 .5 GB it tells me to go on holiday and come back in a
week's time! (It also fails after half an hour or so.) Also my 2Mbps internet
connection runs between 900 - 1900kbps on DELL and 22 -126 kbps on GATEWAY.

PingPlotter shows the Gateway loses 30% of packets when pinging dell. Dell
loses 10 - 30 % the pinging Gateway. Sometimes 100% loss when pingPlotting
each other!

Both comps show themselves and the other in 'view workgroup comps'.

I have tried mapping drives and that works quicker than waiting 40 secs for
each mouse click to register when browsing the other machine but there is
sometimes still a 10sec delay and if I try to open even 2 word docs at once
it'll often show 'not responding'

====

That's the prob, here's what I've tried...

Enabling NetBios on both machines
changing switch / router
changing ethernet cables
Tried a spare network card on both machines with no improvement
Made sure the following services were started and automatic: Computer
Browser, Client, Server, DHCP client, Windows firewall / ICS .... as well as
remote registry in the DELL (the XP pro machine)
Client for microsoft networks, File and printer sharing for microsoft
networks and Internet Protocol TCP/IP are all being used
I have tried setting the NICs to all possible combinations of 10/100 half
and full duplex
I have removed a 'ticking hard drive' on GATEWAY, installed a new hard disc,
re-installed XP home and setup as above again.
I have also tried disabling/switching off windows firewall and sygate
personal firewall has been at both off and set to allow others to share and
to browse / write my files on Network Places
