slow xp - xp transfer speed
I saw this question couple of times already, but none of the solutions provided works with me. It is really strange - becouse untill yersterday the transfer speed was OK
Two weeks ago I have installed a 2 computer network (both with xp) conected via a USRobotics router.
File Sharing installed, Netbios over tcp/ip enabled on both computers, no firewall.
UNTILL yesterday the transfer speed was FINE. Suddenlly , I get some huge transfer delays - but I did'n made any modification/instalation on the PC's. The only thing that I have installed is a emule (edonkey) client.
Both PC's are connected at 100 MB/s
What the hell could be the problem ?
Many thanks,
musca

I can't belive this !!!! Now, it is working fine again. I can't figure out why . . ..
I have done ONLY 2 things :
1. I have deleted all files/cookies from Docs and Settings/User/Local setings/Tenm Internet Files.
2. I have conected the PC's with a crossover cable - and the transfer speed was fine (about 8Mb/s).
After I reconect again with a straight cable via router - the transfer speed was back to normal (8Mb/s instead of 0.5 Mb/s )
I can't see a reason for all this changes taking into account that:
1. In the past 2 days I have restarted the computer several times.
2. I have run several antivirus programs and nothing was detected.
3. I am not quite a newbie in XP networking.
I hate f****g Microsoft and their expensive shitty software, I hate XP, I hate Bill Gates. I have lost over 8 houres on this issue.
If anyone of you has a logical explanation for this, I will really appreciate it.
Regards,
P.s. I will keep this thread open for another 1-2 days, maybe there is a logical explanation for all of this.

Don't blame microsoft for your cheap hardware and the crappy programs you decide to install. If you don't like your transfer speeds or Windows then use Linux, but don't blame M$ or Bill Gates for your problems. Windows was never designed to run Emule or to be a MP3/Movies/warez downloading machine. Maybe you should be on the backs of the poeple that are too cheap to hire good programmers so they can make quality produts that run on Windows XP.
P.S. I use Windows XP and I have not had a problem in over 1 year. I use my machine for everything from Gaming to graphics design to to watching movies and listening to music. I don't understand why your machine is so crappy, but it is definatley not Windows XP.

<<Windows was never designed to run Emule or to be a MP3/Movies/warez downloading machine>> Hmm...if I think better, you are right. You know why? Because Window$ wasn't designed to run ANYTHING. It was designed to get money.

Well, I am sure that there was no cable problem. I never touched the cables. Even when I conected the PC's with a crossed cable, I just unpluged the old ones - but I did't change their position. After I read you post, I have double checked them - pulling, moving and bending - and the speed still the same (good I meen). Interference ? I don't think so - I have a very standard case - no dashy accesoires - only the regular fan which is resonabely away from the cable.
The router didn't log any bad packets or other problem.
This topic is open for quit a long time. Thank you all for helping be find the sollution / explanations for this stupid problem.
At the end of the day I still have no idea what caused my problem - but I think that I have to live with this one until the next time :((
I will split the points betwen all hwo offered me a sollution (or something new to learn :))
Thanks again,
