Network Speed

I have two computers networked using Win98. One is a
laptop,a PII 333 with 98megs ram and a 4 gig HDD.The other
is a desktop AMD 2100 XP (1.8 GHz) with 512 megs ram and a
Ata 133 HDD. When I upload a large file, 10,000KB from the
desktop to the laptop it takes about 25 seconds. When I
reverse the transfer, from the laptop to the desktop, it
will take several minutes. The network settings are
identical on both computers.
Why is there such a large difference in the transfer
speeds? Is there anything I can do to improve the
preformance from the laptop?

Desktop & portable must be working with the same protocols.
Go Network/Propierties/Adaptor (NIC):Propierties/Speed (near Duplex
item). Here try Autodetect, on twice machines.
