Sorry guys, I have looked into everything that had been suggested...

We only use IP
All machines are of at least P500, 128 spec
All Servers are up to speed with plenty of RAM and processor power, and all
have gigabit or FDDI links

It may also be useful to know that Explorer also regularly hangs on
machines when opening Explorer. I know this problem can be due to dodgy or
non-existent network connections but this is not the case here.

Thanks for all your help

Robert Rutherford

Do you have any other protocol's loaded on the problem client machines?
Such
as IPX or worse ?!

Depending on the binding order (for the protocols) the client will try and
emunerate all connections using the first protocol. If IPX is top of the
binding order this will have to timeout before trying NetBios / IP etc to
the connected servers.

You can check the bindings but right clicking My Network Places /
Properties
/ Select the LAN adapter / Advanced / Advanced Settings

Hope this helps...

Subject: [ActiveDir] a small problem.


Hey all,

I know this isn't particularly related but wondered if anyone else has
encountered this little problem:

Whenever anyone on the network goes to open/save a document from standard
app's such as Office it can take up to 2 minutes to drop down the drives
list.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Robert Rutherford
