Hello all. I don't see this problem addressed in the many XP/98 conflicts.
My XP machine CAN see the 98SE machines, and they can see the XP machine.
Everybody can see files and directories for everybody else, and everybody
can access the internet directly through the router at 100 mbps, (NOT using
ICS). Here's where MY problem differs.
Say I want to copy all of the MIDI files from a directory on the XP computer
to a 98SE computer. When I do so, either to a mapped drive or to just one
listed in the Network Neighborhood, whether telling XP to copy it to 98SE or
telling 98SE to copy it from the XP, Copy reports it needs 60 minutes to
copy the files. After a couple of minutes trying to write maybe 10 files,
(and average size is 16K), copy stops with either a "Resource No Longer
Available" error or a "Path Too Deep" error, depending on who's doing the
copy.
Copying the exact same directory, on the same workgroup, through the same
router, between two 98SE machines, takes 25 seconds and gives no error.
Backing up my Quicken files to a remote drive from the XP machine to a 98SE
machine can takes as much as 5 minutes, and sometimes fails due to timeout,
but backing up to a local drive takes maybe 1 second.
I did a totally fresh install of XP from my factory CD, with NO service pack
updates, and get the same thing. I have IEEE disabled, NetBIOS over TCP/IP
enabled, firewalls all turned off, and all drives on the XP machine shared.
What am I missing that causes this to fail writing from or reading from the
XP Home machine???
THANKS!
