Whiskers Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 :bang: Point form for clarity: 1) I have 2 PC's networked through a Linksys wireless router, although they are both hard wired into it. My Xbox at present is the only wireless connection. 2) Each PC has been given an IP by the router: 192.168.1.10x 3) Each PC has it's own 'name', and belongs to the same workgroup. 4) Each PC can ping the other fine. 5) Each PC can surf the Internet fine. 6) Each PC has a shared folder which is visible on the other PC. 7) Browsing the networked folders is slow as hell...it can take several seconds to minutes for the contents to open up, although eventually it does...if I give it enough time. 8) 1 PC has a generic 10/100 NIC card, the other PC has a built in Gigabit LAN which is being used. Any ideas from the Gurus as to why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 What duplex speed are your NIC's set at? If you have different settings for each this can cause a problem. The best bet is to have them all set for auto detect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskers Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Both NIC's are set to auto detect. Does this mean that both PC's would detect the fastest common speed and default to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
