Win2k <-> WinME = Slow Network!

Recently I've upgraded the OS on both of my machines and networking just became really slow.
I was running Win98 on both machines before and I didn't have a problem with network speed but Now that after I've upgraded to a Win2K Pro and WinMe Box, here's the problems I'm beginning to have:
Networking really slow, when I browse the network in the network neighborhood it's really really slow, takes ages to load up. And when I tried to copy files back and forth, it would take ages! Copying a 100Meg folder would take 365minutes?? What da? It use to only take about 5 minutes! maybe less even, Obviously there's something wrong.
I'm using WinRoute Lite on the Win2k Machine because I needed to forward a ports to my WinME machine for a certain application, therefore I can't erase WinRoute, [unless someone can tell me if Win2k itself has a port forwarding util or if there's a way to forward a port in win2k?]
Anyways, I recall seeing some tweaks I can do in the registery? I can't remember anymore... it was a while ago.
Anyways, thanks for anyone who can help.

Not sure about WinME but I had the same problem with my Win2k box and my WinXP laptop. I made the change recommended in this MS Knowledge Base article on the WinXP box and it smokes now. (I now it says NT 4

Here's another of interest article for the 100MB hub users about the high rate of collisions on 100MB networks.
