Hi all, ive got a bit of a problem. My pc (win2k) is hooked onto a LAN with 2 other pc's (one Win2k and one win98). Thing is, my LAN performance is like 1/8-th it was in the past. We run a 10Mbit LAN but i only get 100K/s to and from the other pc's. I cant find out what the problem is, we are all on the same workgroup and if i do a search for computers near me i can find then no problem, theres just the speed problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

And i forgot to add that the other 2 pcs DO have a good working connection, so its some setting on my pc which is causing the problem.

Are you using a switch or a hub to link the machines?

Are you using CAT5 cable throughout? Are they all in good nick?

Does the hub or switch show a "collision" light?

Is the latest machine just using a 10Mb only card?

It could be that the "auto speed negotiation" that 10/100 cards do is not completing properly. Manually config all the cards to 100Mb full duplex.

Thanks for the help Yuppie, but i was being an arse. I had AtGuard running in the background which apparently blocked the traffic partially.

/me feels stupid and go stands in a corner now =(
