Q: What would be best to use for file sharing between a PC with Win98SE, and two computers Win95A? All computers are connected to a 10/100 switch. The Win98SE and one of the computers running Win95A 100 Mbps full duplex, while the other computer running Win95A 10 Mbps half-duplex. Currently I have file sharing enabled on both protocols, and Im wondering if my network could run faster if I file sharing with a handicap of one of the protocols. Thanks!
Re:guy? what an odd name, you like Russian Aviation?
Re:While netbuie is faster on paper. It is quite chaty and limited to broadcast tranmission and limited amount of nodes on the segment (Microsoft says 10 max0; however, IPX (novell invention)is route discoverable like IP. If you are not using IP then IXP is the next best choice since there is nothing to configure.
Re:theoretically netbui should be faster
Re:Unless you have a need for it, i'd get rid of IPX all together, and use NetBEUI alone for LAN purposes.
Edit: no noticable speed diff between the two, to answer the question.
