If you are experiencing a slow network while running Windows Me then all you have to do is:
install the protocol "Internet Connection Sharing" in WinME.To do this go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup
Choose to install "Internet Connection Setting".
This will speed up ur network browsing DRAMATICALLY!!

PLEASE NOTE that i have posted this message in the wrong forum due to me over reacting and getting a *bit* too excited. Sorry but this will only work on boxes running winme
