    Post win2k and win98 network speed

    i know there are many questions on htis topic, but i couldnt find one that related to this.
    i find that when accessing a win 98 machine froma win 2k machine, the connection is very slow, as in takes about 2 minutes to even list directory contents.
    what have i done wrong?

    Believe it or not I have seen problems like this which were resolved by replacing the DE-528CT drivers with generic Realtek (the chipset on your DLink card) drivers. The newer DLink DE-530TX+ does work well with the DLink provided drivers.
