XP slow in opening network files

[yaunus]

I have XP Pro installed on a workstation, and every time I try to open a file on the server from that computer it takes up to two minutes. It is really slow, and I've only noticed this problem on XP computers.

Any ideas?

Thx, Ian

Could you provide more information about your network.
Microsoft or Novell ?

Microsoft. The server is running Windows 2K Server.

Make sure you have all the latest Windows Updates from

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Specifically, Service Pack 1. This resolved a _LOT_ of network performance and useability issues for me.

Try stopping the WebClient service on your XP machine.
