Hi everyone,

I have a problem with our network, we have 10 machines running on WinXP
Home connected to a 10 Mbps Hub.  9 machines are working fine, i.e
accessing their shared folders, etc.  But we have one machine wherein it
can connect to the network, access the shared folders of the other
machines, but the speed is too slow even to the point that it will prompt
"computer name no longer available".  My suspicion here is either with the
cable (i.e. length, crimping) or it is with the hub speed.  Is there any
way that I could determine the actual network speed of that machine via
software?  The network icon in the system tray states it is connected as 10
Mpbs, but I doubt if it is really running in 10 Mbps.  Hope I could hear
from you soon. Thanks.

Frederick
