This is NOT a slow logon problem!
The W2K server is not set up as a server, but has shares that one department connects to (The actual main file server is a Netware server, but this department needed the Windows server for a program that doesn't run on Netware).
Workstations : Windows XP Pro, SP1, Gigabit NICs
Issue : when starting the (financial) programs from the server, it takes around 25 seconds before the program comes up. Should be a couple of seconds.
On one of the workstations the problem has been resolved (the 4 workstations are identical). I had tried several things there, to no avail. But after replacing the 10/100 switches with Gigabit switches, that computer is flying fast.
Problem is...I've tried so many tweaks and settings a while ago and they didn't seem to work beforehand (before replacing the switches)...now I don't know what fixed it.
Does anyone have any idea what I should look at?
TIA
