Sorry Steph, all you have described is a small set of symptoms. The symptoms you describe could have a very large set of possible causes. Several people have given you suggestions as to things you might want to look at for a cause and you have done nothing but yell at them. Not a good way to get help. I expect there are a few spam filters being set to reject your messages as I type.
I do have one suggestion that your network traces might be helpful in looking at, and that is to check the packet size on the packets being sent back an forth. Vista and 2008 ramp up the packet sizes pretty quickly while XP and 2003 take a while. How big are the files you are trying to access? -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Steph Balog [mailto:validemai...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 12:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Slow DFS connections for windows xp users (and windows 2003) Sorry, one is not helpful when the person you are asking help from has o deem you "worthy" first. I asked if anyone else has experience this issue. I know what the root cause is. As I said, there is something going on with the xp and 2003 clients. It WORKS FINE on vista and windows 7. What part of "the issue is consistent only on xp and 2003 clients" is not sinking in? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
