Hi All
I have 2 separate lan's running win98SE with all 10/100 nic's.Each separate lan consists of 8 pc's on either side connected peer to peer and each having it's own 16 port 10/100 Switch.
A fibre optic cable (+- 500m) was then spanned between the 2 "main" pc's on either side of the lan using 2 x 10 mbps fibre to utp converters.This has worked fine for some time until more network speed between the 2 "main " pc's was requested by end users.We have since then installed 2x 100 mbps converters, but now the network speed is drastically slower forcing us to revert back to the 10 mbps converters.
All nic's are set to "auto sense 10/100".
Protocols loaded are ipx/spx,client for microsoft networks and file/printer sharing.
There are no login scripts,no passwords to logon and simple "windows logon" is used.
The one "main" pc on the one end simply accesses an app. on the "main" pc on the opposite end which was made available by a drive being mapped to it.
Cabling techies have tested the fibre cable and said it to be fine to run at 100 mbps.Each Lan separately runs fine at 100mbps.
Pc's are IBM's 300GL 500mhz celerons with 64mb ram
Thanking you in anticipation.
