Good Morning

So basically I have a netgear DG834G V2 modem/router

I am running on a connected ethernet cable line thru to my modem while two other people are running wireless .They are about 10m-15 away.


So i've enable my two external harddrive to share across the network.They can both see my folder under "my network place" but it is slow and often it freezes their computer.

Copying data doesn't work.One of the friend tells that when she tried to copy a file it her Vista computer simply just stalls at the window which says "Calculating estimated time"

Are there anyway to increase the speed or suggestions on how to share my harddrive efficiently over the network?
