Visual C++ : Win98 to WinXP

[BigDaz]

Hello,

I have recently changed from Windows 98 to Windows XP Pro, and have installed Visual C++ 6.0 on it. I had written a program that transfers data from one PC to another using TCP/IP over ethernet. In windows 98 the data transfer data is much higher than when using windows XP even though the only thing that is different is the OS. What could be the problem?

cheers, BigDaz.

>> the data transfer data is much higher

What exactly do you mean by that?

Well, I had two PCs (one WinXP, one Win98) linked together via ethernet-tcp/ip. I had writen two programs to transfer data from one to the other (XP to 98). With the 98 PC taking the data in I had a data rate of about 1.22MB/s. I changed the Win98 PC with a faster PC running WinXP Pro but the data rate decreased to 0.56MB/s. Why?

Cheers, BigDaz.
