Slow network connection

I have a home network with three computers. Two of them
run Windows 98 and one was just upgraded to Windows XP.
The connection from Windows XP to other computers is
extremely slow while the connection from the other
computers with each other or to the Windows XP computer
is fast?
 
Your router should have a tech support page, or go to
linksys.com and use there networking help page. I have the
same hookup with top speed
 
You got it right!! There appears to be something in XP
that makes it look through everything on the network when
you try to get something off another computer. Was not
present in 98. I hope someone can come up with a
solution to this problem. I am working with this on my
office newtork and it is NOT a network problem, including
wiring, routers, hubs, firewalls, etc. adinfinitum.
 
Thank you, I went to the support page and updated the
firmware and the network connection speed is back to
normal.
