My setup: cable-->hub-->2 seperate comps each with 1 NIC
 
anyhoo, the problem:
 
Sometimes the I can see the other comp (win98), sometimes I can't
 
when I can connect to the other computer, sometimes transferring is fast (10mbit like it should be) other times it is insanly slow (10k/s)
 
Has anyone else experienced this, and do they have any solutions.
 
Thanks for your time,
