I think Im having the same problem
at my site and havent been able to isolate or resolve. Basically,
the mapped shares time out with a red X. I saw on a Microsoft
article than you can increase the time out period on a W2K or W2K3 server
share, but not sure if this is the solution as not all of the sites have the
problem. My sites connections are a combination of ATM/T1. Could
the time out disconnect be coming from the router/switch configuration?

This is a complete guess, but when you
click My Computerit is doublechecking all of the drives so it is reaching
out to all of the file shares. When it does that it is probably locking certain
things up in the network stack or workstation service that can only be done
serially.
I would recommend a network trace of a
machine while doing that to see what calls are going out and taking so long to
be responded to.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Remote site
slowdown weirdness
We have a remote site connected to us with a 768k
link. Intermittently, when the users at the remote site double-click
My Computer, it takes 15-20 seconds or more for the drives to
appear. When it's happening, it takes them a long time to access drive
letters back at our headquarters over the WAN. We have tons of other
sites connected this way, and have no issues. The WAN link utilization is
generally below 50% when this is occurring.
If they disconnect all their network mapped drives, the
problem magically goes away.
Is there some settings in WinXP and 2K that may cause the OS
to do all kinds of checking and searching whenever My Computer is launched that
might slow them down? We've been troubleshooting this site problem for
over 2 years now. We also tried giving them their own local WINS server,
and they have their own local DNS server running on their local domain
controller. There is about 50 users at the site.
Any ideas?
