Mapping Drive in Win98?
I network 3 or 4 computers together quite often for gaming purposes using 100meg network cards and cat 5 cable and it works pretty much ok.
For transferring files and the like I always go through network neighbourhood but am finding transfers quite slow. Would things be quicker if I mapped the drives available on all the computers? Is there any benefit at all from doing this? |

Mapping drives will only make them appear as drive letters in My Compuer or a DOS window. If you're finding your transfers slow, you may only have 10 megabit cards, consider upgrading to 10/100 (of course, you're hub will have to be 10/100 as well).
Don't run a bunch of network protocols either, keep it down to just TCP/IP if you can.
