I am having some difficulty with a laptop and was wondering if any of you have seen <br>
this before I invest several hours of TS'ing. My user has a laptop that is <br>
currently set up as pippy. From Pippy I can telnet to any machine. I can surf the web. I can send and recieve email. But each time I go to Network Neighborhood the response is so slow that eventually his task list shows a <br>
'Not Responding' error. I believed it to be a resolution problem however all his network settings are correct. This is causing a problem when trying to access <br>
network resources such as printing and surfing the network Neighborhood. <br>
<br>
Machine stats:<br>
<br>
Gateway Solo 9100<br>
Win98 SE<br>
IE 5.0<br>
All critical patches from Microsoft have been applied.<br>
<br>
Any ideas would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

We will need to get some more info about your setup.<br>
<br>
Sounds like you have IP configured and working properly.<br>
<br>
Do you use other protocols like IPX and NetBEUI? Which is your default protocol?<br>
<br>
Do you attach to Novell Servers? Are you using Novell Client or Microsoft?<br>
<br>
Are you using VPN? (I have seen a machine configured with Dial Up VPN adaptor but not using it resembles the problem you describe)<br>
<br>
Are you using Internet Connection Sharing?<br>
