All sorts of lost

So I drove to Allentown today.. and on my way back, I couldn't find the road that led back onto the PA Turnpike. I decided to just drive, I figured the worst I could do is get lost.

Well, that wasn't the worst I could do. The worst that I did was get lost, and then forty minutes later, end back where I started in Allentown. No, literally, I passed by the road where I first left to go home. The sad part is that I still couldn't find the way onto the turnpike.

After some calls on the cellphone to my local NavStar service center (aka, the friend who looked up where I was on mapquest), I found an alternate route home.

Lost here too

I finally finished building my new computer. Everything is working great except ONE thing. File transfers from the computer are really really slow... and since the whole point of building this computer was to use it as a server box with shared drives, it pretty much defeats the whole purpose.

Here's the problem, maybe somebody who reads this can help me find an answer: Computer A is my regular computer. Computer B is my new computer with all the harddrives shared.

Computer A has all of Computer B's drives mapped on the network. If A copies, say, a 200 mb file to the mapped drive, it will copy over in about 15 seconds. If A tries to copy that same 200 mb file on the mapped drive back to A's own harddrive, it will take 100 minutes. Explain that one to me, tech gods.

Argh, says the pirate.
