Ok, my brother in law and me have 2 computers in the same room netowrked with normal cable, I have setup shared folders so we can both use files off both pc's. Was having no problems with this setup until yesterday when he had to format, now whenever I try to read, or save files onto his pc it is very very slow, however when he tries to read and write files to my pc it goes very quickly.

I have next to no experience with networks so dunno what the problem is, both pc's are running XP SP2.

Edit - Sorry posted in wrong forum, just seen networking forum.
