Sir Loin
I've been searching around, and I can't seem to find an answer to this
problem. I have 2 computers connected through a linksys router. I am
able to remote desktop between the 2 pc's just fine (they both have xp
pro). The connection is silky smooth except when I try to access
files from the other pc. Things just grind to a halt just trying to
view folders on the other pc through windows explorer, nevermind
actually trying to copy and paste something. But this was not always
the case, I remember a time when remote desktop used to work like a
charm. I know I haven't changed my settings so this must be something
microsoft did, probably in a patch during windows update. I know it
has nothing to do with my router setup because my friends have the
same exact problem, and most of them don't even have a router (just 2
pc's connected directly with a crossover cable). Some of us do, and
some of us don't have any kind of firewall running, still the same
problem. I would really appreciate it if anyone can shed some light
on this situation, cuz right now I don't even bother using RD for file
transfers anymore, I stick with ftp programs. FTP transfer are nice
and fast. Keep in mind that YES I can actually view and transfer files
between the pc's using RD, but it's just really really slow, and we're
talking 2 pc's on the same network in most cases, so I know it's not a
bandwith problem. Amd I don't mean a little bit slow, I mean windows
explorer freezes for like over 45 seconds just trying to read inside a
folder that has like only 3 files in it. I hope you guys can help,
thank you.
