This is a discussion about Netgear in the Windows Hardware category; Hi, I have a questions on the Netgear FA310TX. It is very slow when I try to access the windows 98 machines(i have windows 2000 on two of four of them) the others have 98. And you can't access the 2000 from 98.

I have the exact same set up. I got win2k on one computer and win98se on another one. I have the same card you have in both of them. I have noticed when accessing the win98 computer it does take a little longer than usual. But it does work. I can also access my win2k computer with the win98 computer with no slow down. Check your access to the win2k computer and make yourself an account. It still might have something to do with netgears drivers or something. I know win2k has drivers for it but how current are they? I would be checking netgear's homepage for a message board or e-mail them. Who knows they might be coming out with an updated driver.

Are you using a cable modem/dsl at all? Check the IPs of each machine (assuming they are real, not 10.x.x.x etc) and make sure they are all running through the same gateway. If they aren't, each packet on your lan is being routed out through the cable modem, then back in. To fix it, do a "route add [computer#1IP] [yourComputerIP]"
(I think, I'll check it when I get home), and so on. You need to add each machines IP to your machines routing table.
I have 2 310TX cards (1 in 2k server, 1 in 98), and both machines had different @home assigned gateways. This fixed it for me.
