freeze browsing shared....

[pinkpig13]

Hello all,

We have a NT machine that we used to use to connect to a shared directory on OpenVMS. We mapped it on the NT machine. Now we want to map to the shared directory on vms from w2k and XP machine. I was having problems at first with the password. I then found out that w2k and XP was encrypting the password before sending it to OpenVMS, so i turned it off and now i can map fine. But after i mapped it, it takes forever for the listing to show up. It would just freeze. Anyone know why ? are there to many files on the shared directory?

THanks!
L

pinkpig13,

There are many reasons why you could be getting a slow response. Among the possible reasons are the size of the directory, the load on the network, the load on the OpenVMS host, and various global and per-process settings on the OpenVMS host that could be causing a performance problem.

These problems are devilishly difficult to ferret out in an online forum, because of the number of possible underlying causes.

Are there other performance related problems on this host?

Nothing is running on the openvms machine now. I just brought up the shared drive on a WinNT machine. It took about 15 secs for all the files to show up. There's 2595 files totalling 96.3MB. When i go to the W2K machine and open up the shared drive it takes forever and when it does come back with something its only about 30 files. Nothing is clogging the network either. I have no clue what is causing this.

Thanks
Laura

Laura,

As I mentioned, it is hard to say. It is suspicious that the NT system sees everything, but Win2K does not. Have you looked at a network log of what goes across the network?

Also, what versions of the server are you running on the OpenVMS system?
