Hi,
there is a problem with some version of norton antivirus that do a dns lookup.
So if your net is outside the internet or your dns does't resolve norton
request the machine goes slow.

The XP machine, which should be faster, is about 10 times
slower than the 2000 machine.

        Hmmm... I know that the processor speed is really
different (eight times faster), but there are other things
that you should consider on this, NIC, RAM memory, network
infra structure and specially configuration. =)


Yes but it's the machine which has a processor eight times faster that is six times slower, i.e. 48 times slower than expected.



Anybody any ideas.

        Also came to my mind things like DNS and WINS, which
should affect w2k and xp in different ways.

        Kind regards,

What about Anti-Virus Software?
From some I know, that they examine every file mounted on a network drive. This can slow down the performance significantly. If there's a difference between your systems, you might verify this by tracing the network traffic and looking, if the opened files are scanned backwards and forwards.

Bye,

Martin
