MSHOME !

[davemar14]

I recently installed XP Home SP2 on my second computer. My main comp is running XP Pro SP1. When on the SP2 machine, I can access the network mapped drive, and all shared documents, and view my XP Pro SP1 very fast. When I go on the XP Pro SP1 machine, to view the SP2 comp, its really slow. It takes like 30 seconds to load screens. The Windows Firewall is disabled on both comps, because I am behind a router. Is there any fix for this?

Well being behind a router doesnt automaticly mean you're protected..

Well, the router may not block everthing, but I have been running behind it for years, without a problem. I just can't stand the XP firewall, screws up so much stuff with my network. Anybody know of known issues with MSHOME and XP SP2? I tried google, but didn't come up with anything.

I notice a slowness as well but it is only for initially bringing up the share, once I'm in it is fast. I think it is just yet another sp2 bug, keep doing your windows updates and it "might" get fixed sometime. My problems were solved when I put together a storage server to hold all my data but not all people have that luxury

back in the day this problem was solved by disabling the computer browser service. well, that was my solution anyway.
