We have 4 machines on the network.(microsoft PTP)
We had a Win 98 (800 mhz with 512 Ram) machine as the file server with
1other win 98 machine and 2 XP Pro machines (1.8 ghz 512 Meg Ram) as work
stations. Everything was working OK but we thought that installing a new
machine as the file server XP Home (with 2.8 ghz and 512 meg ram) would
speed things up.
In reality, what we found was that everything slowed down!Where it was
taking 4 sec to load applicaiton from the file server, it now takes 7 or 8
seconds. Running reports, file transfers, ... everthing is taking longer. Is
there something we should be looking for to correct this?
Thanks
