Hi to all expert in win95 out there,

I encounter this problem and hope to get good advises from you. Thank you
in advance.

I had 2 pc at home which are win95. I connected them using utp cross cable
and setup tcp/ip protocol. at first it works fine and i can share folders
and printer. However, occassionally, it will give me problem like unable to
access to "peer"'s folders or takes very long time to do so. When i view in
the network neighbourhood icon, i can see my 2 pc listed there. I try a few
times and later it works fine again for a period of times.

My 2 pc is a D.I.Y. type , running win95, one with 16mb & 32 mb RAM.
the length of the cable is 15m.
Could the length of cable be a problem? Will connecting them to a hub able
to solve it?
I had tried everything i can but the problem still there. can anyone help!


Best Regards,

Douglas Wong

  Parallel connections have a faster data transfer speed, the down points
are only
  short cables about 3 metres, and most Pc only have one Parallel port.
  Serial based system can have much longer cables 30 metres, as the data is
sent
   as serially, that is one data stream, data is always received in the
correct order.
   most data link systems for games etc are serial based.
   The other method is to use an interface card (pci or isa) based system.
    This will give the fastest data transfer, better security features, the
only downside
    is cost and sometimes setting up can be a frustrating time.
    check which IRQ settings your connection are using, remember comms 1-3
use the
    same IRQ setting (4).
