Network Neighborhood Question
Alright, been wondering about this for a long time and wonder if anyone knows.

I have a home network. 4 Computers on it. All Switches and all Cat 5 or Cat 6 cabling. Yet, when I browse the network neighborhood, it takes like 15 seconds to load the other computers, and then another 15 to load what the shared folders are for another computer. My DSL Ping is ~90..aka .090th of a second. Why the significant difference? Why does it go so slow? Shouldn't it be even faster than my DSL because its on an ethernet network?

Anyone have any ideas/know about this kind of thing?

What protocol are you using TCP/IP or NetBEUI?

If you have TCP/IP have you got static IP addresses assigned to the machines or are you using a DHCP server?

Are all the machines on the same subnet mask?

Are the machines all of the same version of Windows or different?

Have you got File and Printer sharing service installed on each machine?

>>90% sure its TCP.
If you have TCP/IP have you got static IP addresses assigned to the machines or are you using a DHCP server?
>>DHCP server, but its not local, my DSL company assigns each comp its own external/internet IP address.
Are all the machines on the same subnet mask?
>>Yes
Are the machines all of the same version of Windows or different?
>>2 XP, 2 98 (Not sure if they SE or not.)
Have you got File and Printer sharing service installed on each machine?
>>Not really. I think of the computers is sharing a printer and one of the others is setup to use it.
