Network in Windows 2000

[WindBlowzXP Professional]

Im using Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 2 in our computer shop, the problem is ... then i access the workstations .. (which is using Windows 98 SE) it is too slow !!! but if im accessing Windows 2000 Professional/Server its fast.

Im using a CNET LAN card 10/100 MBPS and a CNET Switch, and i have a total of .. 12 PC's

Use wins, or try using netbeui for testing.
if it works with netbeui, then it is a tcp/ip problem.
most likley it has to do with win2k looking for the "scheduled items" and "printers" folder names on the 9x boxes.
If you think that is slow, try a mixed Novell / Win2k environment. Using a unc does not cut it.

Is the switch 10/100?

Also try setting both NIC cards to Full 100 duplex and set the IPX to 802.3

Wanna know whats really slow, a NT/Novell domain with Windows 2000 Workstations on dual IP. Wow now thats slow. Dual IP is so slow.

How do you have the server configured? is it a domain controller? is it a dhcp server or are your ips staticly assigned?

Nope it is not a domain controler, i didn't touch the dhcp server and my ips are automatically assigned.

The switch is 10/100, all PC's are using CAT 5. i didn't enable the IPX, should i enable it?

If you don't have a hybrid network i.e. MS and Novell, you don't need IPX. Assuming that it's an MS server/client, this is my suggestion:

Server:
Client for MS
File and Print sharing for MS
TCP/IP (if you need www access) or
NetBEUI (if you don't know what your'e doing)

Workstations:
Client for MS
File and Print sharing for MS
TCP/IP (if you need www access) or
NetBEUI (if you don't know what your'e doing)
