Solve the problem of slow mutual access between Win2000 and XP network

            Nowadays, many people are using Win2000 and WinXP to connect to the Internet. However, many users in the specific use report that it is very slow to browse the network neighbors in Win2000 and WinXP, especially when there are Win9x and WinMe workstations on the network, especially open. Online neighbors even take more than 10 minutes and often report errors. So what is the slow speed of the stalker? According to the author, there are two main reasons. ■ Network protocol configuration issues; ■ WinXP scheduled tasks. But if other Windows computers don't see the WinXP computer in the network neighborhood, it may be that the user lock and security policy are not set. At this time, we need to start from the following aspects. I have encountered similar problems before, but I have found a set of effective solutions in a large number of networking experiments. First, the installation and setup of the network protocol 1. Install the NetBEUI protocol in WinXP Yes, you are not mistaken, is to install the NetBEUI protocol in WinXP. Microsoft only supports TCP/IP protocol and NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS compatible protocol in WinXP, and officially announced that it no longer supports NetBEUI protocol. However, in the actual use of establishing a small local area network, the use of two protocols supported by Microsoft is not satisfactory. For example, in the process of solving the problem of slow network neighbors, the author used a number of methods, although the speed of the network neighborhood is better, but it is still slow as a snail; in addition, when setting up multiple network card protocols, client and service binding, this There are still bugs in the two protocols. Multiple NICs must be bound to all protocols (except NWLink NetBIOS), clients, and services. Even if you cancel some bindings, the system will automatically add them. This obviously does not meet the requirements. The actual needs in network construction. When the author installed the NetBEUI protocol in WinXP, the above two problems were solved satisfactorily. There are 3 files in the directory of the WinXP installation CD in the "\\valueADD\\MSFT\\NET\\NETBEUI" directory, where "NETBEUI.TXT" is the installation instructions, and the other two are the files required to install the NetBEUI protocol. The specific steps for installation are as follows: ■ Copy  NBF.SYS” to “%SYSTEMROOT%\\SYSTEM32\\DRIVERS\\” directory; ■Copy < NETNBF.INF” to “%SYSTEMROOT%\\INF\\” directory; ■ Click the “Install" button in the network connection properties to install the NetBEUI protocol (Figure 1). Note: %SYSTEMROOT% is the installation directory of WinXP. For example, if the author's WinXP is installed in the F:\\Windows directory, you should replace %SYSTEMROOT% with F:\\Windows.

2. Set up other network protocols in WinXP. I suggest that if your LAN does not need to use the Internet, you only need to install the NetBEUI protocol. In a small LAN (a network with about 200 computers) NetBEUI is the least expensive and fastest protocol, and the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS compatible protocol should be removed. If your LAN is going to the Internet, you must install the TCP/IP protocol. However, for fast access to the network, it is recommended to specify the IP address of each workstation (unless there is a DHCP server in the network), otherwise the workstation will always look for the DHCP server to slow down the network. Of course, if only TCP/IP protocol is installed in the network, it can realize mutual access in the LAN. However, it is more difficult to directly see other machines in the network neighborhood. You must search for a certain machine before you can access it. It is very inconvenient to use in actual network.
