Does it still copy (transfer) files normally?

OP
as far as i can remember the transfer between 2 win2k boxes were fast but the 95 box was slow. it was just extreamly slow accessing network neighborhood
your finding it very slow to find the hard drives on the other machine yeah? i bet those other machines are either win98 or win95. well becuase with me i had win2k and my friends had win9x. the actual network was peachy but it took a long while to find the hard drives (or shared folders) on the win9x machines. if you put 2 win2k machines together, super fast access!!
if i'm wrong, whoops.
