Win ME takes FOREVER to browse network!

Recommended Posts

Using WinME instead of Win 98 SE just for the hell of it. But browsing the network seems to take a REALLY long time. Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

 

Stupid as Win 9x platform! Errr! I hate it! I hate it a lot!

Have you checked the protocol settings? First check that you don't have any extra protocols installed on the winME computer. Also if you have more than one protocol installed, there may be a way to select the "preferred" protocol. I know if you connect to Novell, then you can chose which protocol has priority on NT and win2k machines. I don't remember if MS added this to winME. Look in the networking properties for that setting.

 

Finally, look at what you are using for name resolution. Neteui, DNS, hosts file, lmhosts, wins, etc. The one that works best depends on your particular network.
