Reaaly slow means 5-6 minutes to move an 4 MB file from one computer to the other...<BR>
I used t o do it before and it used to take few seconds...<BR>
Computer are two Athlon XP 1600+/XP 2000<BR>
<BR>
Power is more than enough...<BR>
<BR>
I guess is some network configuration that gives us problem. I'll try to change all the settings on both the computers...<BR>
Any idea to debug the problem?<BR>
<BR>
In the meanwhile.. I'll have a look at the processor time as you suggest.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
