slow network WinXP and Win98SE

[KCKtt]

Apparently slow networking between XP and 98SE is well known, but I have found no fixes (except for upgrading all computers to XP...).

Using 100Mb NICs and TCP/IP, I get at most 2.1MB/s for a file copy from a WinXP machine to a Win98SE machine, and at most 1.25MB/s from Win98SE to XP when the XP machine originates both transfers.

Has anybody achieved faster transfer rates? If yes, please post them. Perhaps other protocols might help.

Hey m8,

Have you checked the QoS packet scheduler on the XP machine? Start-Run-gpedit.msc-Computer Configuration-Administrative Templates-Network-QoS Packet Scheduler-Limit Reservable Bandwith-Set it to enabled and 0%. Otherwise windows reserves 20% of your bandwith by default.

This might not solve anything, but atleast I tried
