Help....can't Search(overnet)

[Daddys Little Princess]

I've used Overnet for a long time.
Recently I bought a new computer and installed overnet
and here comes the problem:
The speed of "search" become extreamly slow
One time I searched "game"(program) for 30 mins and no result back!
Sometimes the "search" works(based on my luck)

My old computer uses Win98SE

My new computer uses WinXP

Overnet is "connected" and "open"

I've turned off the stupid Windows firewall and I didn't install QoS packet scheduler in the very beginning.

My old computer and new computer uses the very same Ethernet card(I plugged it from the old computer and installed it on the new computer)

its a common problem. I had it, and couldnt find what was causing it. Seems to be quite an issue with a few other people too.

I have found searching can be a problem when I have 3 or 4 applications running at once.
