IMPOSSIBLE Networking with XP


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've got three computers hooked up to a network: first, a WinXP and a Win2000 computer

connected to a wired LAN. Then there's also a WinXP laptop connected via WiFi.

 

I'm using a Linksys wireless router WRT150N.

 

Internet access for all machines is fast and flawless. But file transfers are impossible

between any of the machines, regardless of file size. I can do a directory view of

networked files, which usually gets me a few seconds delay and an hourglass, but any

attempt at any file transfer gets me an hourglass that won't go away ever. Often on the

XP machines I'll see a frustrating crash of Windows Explorer (Win2000 never crashes, by

God!)

 

I don't have a clue as to what is going on here and I'm at my wits end. ANY help or

debug ideas would be lovely. Thanks for taking the time.

 

AAAHHH!!!
