Are you running any other services on your network? Lets say, Netware. I have found a similar issue pointing at the Netware client.

I have four boxes, Two Linux Mandrake Boxes (Morpheus and Unreal both v. 9.2), One RedHat (Link v. 8.0) and an XP Workstation (Kek XP Pro NO SP1). When I bring up My computer (Explorer) and attempt to browse through the H: drive (SMB Share mapped to Users Home dir on Morpheus), Y: drive (SMB Share maped to /backup on Unreal) It takes a veary, very long time to list the files on any of the mapped samba drives. It basically hangs the explorer.exe process. I can bring up the task manager, I can still toggle (Control + Tab) between other apps that are open, but I cannot access my start menu or do anything with the current explorer window that's reading the files form the network. However with the task manager open I can launch a new task cmd.exe and then fro the command prompt I can C:>H: change to the H: drive, do a "dir" and list all the files, I can even dig down into sub dirs and list files over the network, the whole time the explorer process appears to be hung trying to list the files, just like I did in the command prompt window. Then after about 4 or 5 mintues, everything comes back to normal, it shows all the files in the explorer window, and then any clicking I did like on the start menu or trying to move winodws while it was hung all happens very quickly and then it's fine. Until I try to access the drive again in about 2 or 3 hours. Sorry so long. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Curtis Strite Director of Internet Services 7321 S.
