Hi albert,

I have not trief ftp yet, but I got rid of the problem. It seems that switching off the NETBEUI protocol solve the problem on several machines. However when I switch of this protocol on a W98 machine I won't be able to logon onto my W2000 domain. For the moment the problem is solved: Now i've got a troughput around 950 KB/s which is reasonable if you take the theoretical maximum of 1.25 MB/s into account.

Walter,
