You still have the problem! So sorry. I installed an XP yesterday. All I had to do was set network properties and register the SignOrSeal patch (WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg). I left the default IEEE 802.1X EAP setting ("Smartcard or other...") and didn't disable the Web client service either, just to see what kind of problems other people have. Well, I had no problem whatsoever. I can login in and out in a couple of seconds. I can transfer the Win2K-SP4 (137 MB) in both directions under 15 sec. I don't know what your problem is but in your shoes I would try from scratch, with a very uncomplicated setup - just the server and a freshly installed client connected via a crossed cable and build from there. Chances are that something completely different is your problem, but you need to find it out slowly and systematically. >>> Sounds like symptoms of activated Web Client >>> service. >> Maybe the point is about EAP -- i did not quite > Still no help.

I wonder what other problem in client network configuration can be masked by switching EAP and Web client off. I've seen the problem only on an XP client, a laptop. It wasn't severe. Opening a share or a shared subdirectory would stall for several seconds although it takes no time on other clients. When I disabled Web client and EAP those symptoms were gone. With my new XP box I also tried and disabled both EAP and Web client. No difference. Same login and transfer speed. EAP and Web client obviously do not need to be a problem on an otherwise correctly set up server and clients communicating through decent wires and switches. I'm afraid no one can help you but you yourself. Go slowly from simple to more complex. Be sure what works and you'll find out what the problem was. Perhaps you should first test how fast ftp client works. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
