XP Slow/Freezing on LAN

[BarnyardMonkey]

Have had this problem for sometime now and can;t seem to figure it out.

i've reinstalled XP a few times in the past with this same problem. (Different Hardware each time)


I have 5 PC's Networked together - 4-Port SMC Router - 12-Port Hub - RR Cable - Cat5 Cable

1 PC Running XP Pro - others running Win98SE

All PC's can share and transfer files fine,except for the XP machine.
All the non XP Machines can access the XP box fine,but the XP box does the following when trying to browse/transfer files from the Win98SE Machines:


If i try to copy a file (Right click,Copy) to transfer to XP,it will show the hour glass for about 30-40 Secs,then the menu will come up to copy:

after i copy and try to transfer to the XP Machine,(right click,paste)it will again show the hour glass for about 30-40 secs.then the files transfer fine.
Also when clicking into each folder,it will pause like this for about 10 secs.


Network Config:

Client for MS Networks
TCP\IP
NIC - (10/100)
File Printer Sharing


If anyone can help me with this i'd appreciate it.



Shawn.

I'm also having this probelm... ever since I have set up my network to connect two computer to DSL my computer will lock up randomly after awhile. When I disconnect the CAT5 no problem, no locking up or anything.. but when I connect it again, after awhile I'll lockup...

I need help, I'm on the brink of insanity..
