Just thought I'd post an update as we have found the solution to our problem (for now at least). We disabled the WebClient service which has been known to hang IE6 file shares. Now all access to shares are instantaneous without hanging :). However, that said, there appears to be little...

Just an update. We tried what bcastner suggested, however, the same problem came up. If the currently logged in user has permissions on the share the connection works. If the option is specified to request a username/password the connection hangs and crashes explorer after entering the...

There may be but it would probably be a lot easier to use a linux boot such as LILO or grub as they are a lot easier to configure. The RedHat install of linux automatically detects any windows installations and will set the boot up for you.

Thanks for the tip, I have someone looking into it to see if it will solve the problem, however, it still does not explain why when you map a network drive through the GUI using a different username the share hangs/freezes explorer. The window pops up but no files/folders appear and explorer...

Greetings, I've been searching all over for a solution to this but with no avail so I hope someone can help me out. I have two windows XP pro machines on a domain. I set up a file share on one (we'll call it "testshare") and then tried to connect to it from the other computer...
