Im really not sure what to call this subject but this is the problem Computer 1 - Pent III 866 running 512 mg Ram and using MS Windows XP
Computer 2 - Pent III 866 running 216 mg Ram and using MS Windows 98 Both computers are networked with Computer 1 being the "host" (through Internet Sharing option) Completely out of the blue for the last two days, whenever computer 2 is turned on and connects to the network - the online performance of Computer 1 all but fails. I am unable to view most websites (either local or international), there are some where I can get to the index page (with half the graphics missing) but cannot go any deeper, MS outlook cannot download any emails - keeps saying that it cannot connect with mail host, and most of my chat programs cannot connect. Its almost like its got down to a 14.4kbps but internet connect is still stable at 50.6kbps. If Computer 2 is not switched on then computer 1 works perfectly. I have no idea what has caused this. Does anyone have any ideas of where I could start to look at whats going on? The only other thing is that the CD-Rom drive of Computer 2 has died - but I don't think that this would affect the networking. I havent replaced it yet but havent removed the one that has died yet either. I thought of doing a system restore back to three days ago but havent installed anything that I think would effect the running of the computer - the only thing I have installed is SnagIt on computer 1.
