Recently, our users are seeing slow performace on our IP network which is running Novell 5.1 with NDS and Windows 2000 servers. After we ran a packet analysis on the network, we discovered for some reason, we are seeing alot of NETBios name service broadcast traffic originated from Win2k clients wanting to resolve the name of our Novell NDS tree. It's very odd that Windows hosts would want to use NetBios to query this information. We are running Novell SLP to resolve Novell services (similar to AD's DNS SRV records to resolve Windows services), and all users are running Win2k Pro SP4 with Novell Client for Windows ver 4.9.
Greatly appreciates if anyone has any ideas or inputs.
