this is a Ethernet-based network w/ a network hub
for machines running win98 & win2000 separately,
file sharing is so slow among machines w/ different
window versions.
Pls help if you know why & have a solution.

your reply is greatly appreciated.
 
Make sure all computers are not using "autosense" in their network adapter
properties - if you're using a 10/100 hub, try setting the properties to
100Mb/Half Duplex on each computer.
 
On the Win2k machines, Start/Run - regedit.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Remote
Computer\NameSpace\
