    I have 2 windows 2000 PCs (running Pro) & 1 windows 98 PC. all are using a Netgear FA311.

    the 98machine has a printer connected.
    my win2k machine has DSL.

    all machines are seet to obtain IP auto.

    theyre on a Netgear DS104 Hub

    the DSL is shared perfectly.

    But i have problems on my machine accessing the others. Like i find upload speeds very slow and sometimes won't let me upload or download on the network.
    I find it very slow browsing the network. if it lets me at all, and my PC won't print from the network. even though ive shared it and installed the drivers, my other 2k PC has no problems printing.

    please help me speed up my network and make it better without expense (e.g. don't tell me to get a router)

    Netgear FS105 switch £50 , about $70 i think , very speedy at 200mbit/sec FDX as for the software side i cant see what is wrong, a 10 mbit/sec print server may sort the printing poblem.
