Network slow for one computer

Hi,

I just set up a small home network with 2 PCs and a wired router/switch (dlink ebr-2310). the systems are as follows (both xp home):

abit kn8ultra
a64 3800
2 gigs corsair
syskonnect sk-9e21d (nic)

jetway
duron 850
384 pc133
compaq nc3120 fast ethernet nic

---
obviously a big difference between the systems, but I assume with the same OS there should not be too many problems. Anyway, both computers connect to the net ok. The jetway connects to the abit great. The abit takes like 1 minte to access the jetway- that is my problem right there. i tried calling dlink support but obviously this is not a router problem. Anyway, so how can i correct this problem? any ideas where ishould check?

thanks
 
I just run windows firewall on both of them. Thanks for the replies- please keep them coming. BTW, what settings should i be looking for? I am new to networking...
 
maybe a driver problem if you are doing it in safemode with networking.. Does the slow computer use networking software from the company that made the NIC. I tried useing Linksys' software once for a PCI wireless card and it ended up being slower and having a lot more CPU utilization. try using basic windows if you are not doing so already
 
OK, I have found a solution- disabling remote scheduled tasks. I deleted the registry key that refers to t his and it made the connection perfect. However, I figured I would reboot to see if the solution was permanent. Upon reboot, the key was back and my connection bad again. So I need to figure out how to disable remote scheduled tasks another way... I am searching for it on Google right this second. Any ideas?

thanks

btw, here is the key and its location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > RemoteComputer > NameSpace
{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
 
that should be the only key you need to delete...dunno why its coming back. you could try all the scheduled task keys, but i would export and save just in case they screw anything up.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
 
Thanks. I just tried that and it affected system stability negatively.. then I could not import the backup registry export.. so I did a sytem restore which was only a couple hours old fortunately. I was thinking.. maybe I could just run a batch file or something that would remove the key every time windows starts? Or maybe something like that.. I don't know.. any more ideas? They should have a setting that allows you to disable remote task scheduling checking.. stupid microsoft
 
sorry bout that man 🙁 here a quick wmi script to delete that key...

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}"

oReg.DeleteKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath

best i can do ;x
 
Don't worry about it. You never know how things will affect one persons computer- some people it works for and others it doesn't for whatever reason. I appreciate the help! Now I need to learn how to write a WMI Script- which is cool 😛
 
copy the above code into notepad and save as deletekey.vbs (save as type all files).

wasnt sure if you were asking how to use it or how to code it. best of luck...
 
Thanks. Will this be something that I have to run manually, or will it run when windows opens? Either way is fine, just curious. Thanks for the help
