Configure the network adapters on both the PCs in Half Duplex mode and verify if this resolves the issue. This can be done as follows: -\nStep 1: Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network connections.\n\nStep 2: Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and select Properties.\n\nStep 3: Select the Configure button.\n\nStep 4: Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and Value. \n\nNote: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in the Property box will be slightly different.\n\nStep 5: Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this: Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb Full Duplex.\n\nStep 6: Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.

If you are running Microsoft XP, make sure ur wireless cards are on on both laptops, make sure they both see the router(or connect to the router) by searching for your routers wireless signal (make sure u install the router properly).\nIf they both see the wireless signal form ur router then try to use both of them to brouse the internet (if they both work) then the next step would be to:\nsetup small office network (somewhere on the left after clicking on my Network places... make sure u have the same domain name for both laptops..........GOODLUCK

Windows allows internet connection sharing.  Enable this for the network connection of the computer which is online.\n\nA better solution is to hook up both computers through a router.  These can be purchased for under $50 online or in walmart/target/radio shack/etc.

To connect them select "Direct Cable" when setting up the network. On your dual boot you will have to set it up twice. One in each instance oof windows. ME and W2k.\nIf you decide to setup broadband through one computer and allow the second computer to access the internet thru the first, use two different brand of NIC in the first computer. This will reduce conflicts when setting up your first computer.

Unfortunately most home or small office routers that you purchase at a local computer store do not have the functionality to limit specific computers on your LAN to a specific speed.  I was in a similar situation where my roommate did a lot of file sharing and I like to game on line and his file sharing as affecting my gaming.  I searched endlessly on how to replace the stock firmware on say a Linksys DLink Netgear router but to no avail.  \n\nEventually I came across some custom router software that you install on an old computer with 2 more network cards depending on how many comptuer want to connect to the internet.  It is very powerful software and it has by the most functionality that I have come across.  You can read up on the specifics at www.star-os.com.

A network hub with both types of connection will do it. Probably cant get an actual hub, since most such devices are switches these days

just use lan tester to test
