I am on a (small) home network with a couple of other machines, all linked together with a 100baseT switch. Works fine most of the time, except for when somebody is grabbing a file from my system. I get serious system lag, my windows take a long time to redraw, etc..
I have an XP1800+, running on an MSI KT600A motherboard, with 512MB 333DDR Ram. I'm using the on-motherboard lan.
Oh, the HDD's an 80GB 8MB Western Digital, running at UDMA5 (ATA100), I just checked again.
So basically, why is my system slowing down so much when somebody grabs a file?
Thanks!
