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 "Neil Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> m> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] a small problem. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ivedir.org 14/11/2001 14:16 Please respond to ActiveDir 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... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 2:06 PM 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?
