Re: Networking Help - Windows 7 x64 -> Win98SE

Well that certainly clears things up and indicates the problem is the 98 side. I don't have a Windows 98 PC but I did fire up Windows 98 SE in MS VPC 2004 on the XP SP3 laptop. Initially downloading the same file from the other XP machine I was getting ~800 kBytes/sec. In Windows 98 network …

Since you already mentioned that the transfer speeds between your Win 7 desktop and Win 7 laptop give same slow speeds I think it's safe to rule out Win 98 machines for now. He said exactly the opposite: Sorry - I got the same slow result from both windows 7 machines to the three Windows 98SE boxes …

:-) Why hasn't anybody asked him what kind of machines we are talking about? Or have I overlooked something? - If you are using ISA NICs (on your 98SE machines), this speed is normal. - If you are using USB NICs this speed can be normal, especially if it's connected to a USB 1.1 port (USB 1.1 is …

Yes, something like that. The big "blob" in the middle is the important part. (While you can buy USB-A-to-USB-A male-male cables, they are completely nonstandard and might even damage your USB ports.) I'm not sure if Windows 7 includes anything, but these cables also require their own independent …

Interesting - a USB to USB cable? I would assume then both ends are female?? Has to be a special networking cable or if you have firewire you could use that I'm assuming what I need is something like this, but I definitely don't want to rely on the Windows Easy Transfer bs. http://www.amazon.com/ …

So... You're on the Win7 machine accessing the Win9x box? You're not on the 9x box trying to access Win7 shares? Try Linux and see what happens. It is indeed strange that SSH and FTP would be problematic in the same way as Windows Networking though. Yep - exactly. I'm browsing the 98SE share via \\ …

You would run it on the Win7 machine. The point is to use Linux's Samba to share that computer's files, instead of Windows 7's networking. Samba still works with Win9x, and yes Linux supports NTFS and FAT32. USB networking isn't just a straight cable connection. It's not like Firewire. USB …
