Long delay - name resolution problem on multihomed computer

Long delay finding host- name resolution problem on multihomed computer.

I have a 2 computer SOHO network consisting of one Windows XP Home edition
w/SP2 computer named BRUCE and one Windows 98SE computer named FRED.
BRUCE is a multihomed machine with 2 NICs: a 3COM connected to the cable
modem and a LINKSYS connected directly to FRED via a crossover cable.
Both machines also have PPP modem adapters. ICS is active on the 3COM on
BRUCE.

The problem: a long delay for BRUCE to find FRED in Network Neighborhood and
Windows Explorer. This causes a real problem when FRED's printer is selected
from BRUCE because the print module freezes while waiting/trying to find the
printer, crashing the program.
There is no delay when browsing BRUCE from FRED or any problems using
BRUCE's printers from FRED.
There is no problem (delay) browsing FRED from BRUCE if the network share
shortcuts are used in Network Neighborhood or Windows Explorer. ICS works
fine.

Bruce can't ping FRED by name. It can ping FRED's ip address. FRED can ping
BRUCE both ways. If I set a default gateway on the Linksys adapter's TCP/IP
properties to 192.168.0.1 (using the add button) Bruce can ping FRED but I
lose internet connectivity through the cable modem. Removing the default
gateway on the Linksys adapter brings back cable connectivity.
With a static IP BRUCE links FRED to the Comcast Internet account
(fred.hsd1.ma.comcast.net). I need to know how to change this so BRUCE looks
for FRED at fred.mshome.net @ 192.168.0.95. I believe the 65.30.0.0 address
(noted below) is a Comcast (Cable internet) address.

I am working on a clean machine. I formatted and clean installed XP on BRUCE
10 days ago. I have made minimal network setting changes since then. I used
Network Setup Wizard to create the network. NSW created a fixed IP address
for the Linksys adapter on it's own.

History: I once had a well working network using this same setup on a XP
computer with an on-board Intel Pro/1000 Adapter Gigabit LAN controller and
the Linksys NIC. The cable modem was connected to the Gigabit controller and
the Linksys was connected to the LAN. That motherboard died. A new MB was
installed w/o an
on-board LAN and the 3COM card was added in addition to the original
Linksys. The 3 com was connected to the cable modem and the Linksys was
(again)connected to the LAN. A repair install of XP was performed. The
network would not work when I reconnected everything. A phantom device
(Gigabit LAN controller) had laid claim to 192.168.0.1 and the new adapter
couldn't use it. The phantom device was found and removed. The network was
connected, but only by setting the IP address to static on the Linksys. I
lived with the delay problem for several months. Last month I attempted to
fix it. I made several changes, fixes (LSP fix, socket fixes, netsh resets,
remove and replace cards) but no effect. I then formatted the drive and
clean installed XP.

It seems to me that I need step by step instructions on how to set up both
adapters and ICS so each NIC only addresses the needed gateway. TCP/IP seems
to default to only one gateway. I'm obviously missing something (obvious?).

I found a tip suggesting that deleting a HKLM key will solve the problem
"fix browsing delay to Win98/ME computers". Would like to check other
possible fixes here before I go deleting registry keys.

Also, some people (Carey Holtzman) say a node type: "unknown" is not a
problem on SOHO networks. Others seem to feel the registry fix is needed. Is
there a consensus?

If manually editing the routing table is the best solution, how do you do
it? I don't exactly understand what I'm reading when I look at it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
