Hello everybody,

I have a small network composed by a Vista Pc, a win98 pc and a win95 pc. The Vista pc shares a network folder to others. The Win98 works fine; instead the Win95 is mostruosly SLOW...but, if I unplug the network cable from the network port of the win95, it become quick and everything is ok (except network connection, obviously)...

what's the problem? Maybe is it concerced to authorization while accessing shared folder?

thankx

Microsoft doesn't support having Vista share its folders with Windows
95, 98, or Me. That feature wasn't part of Vista's design, coding, or
testing. To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to make it work
reliably.
