slow network browsing

Hi all,
Problem 1:
I just added a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 machine to our LAN. It can access the
internet. It has a shared folder which can be accessed from other computers.
It has a mapped network drive which accesses files on the mapped drive
quickly. However, it takes approximately 30 seconds to see shared files on
other computers when I use My Network Places or Windows Explorer. All
computers, including this one, are part of the same workgroup. This
particular computer can quickly navigate to our workgroup and display icons
for each computer on the network, but when I double-click a particular
computer icon, it takes 30 seconds or so for the shared files to appear.
(the nifty little flashlight appears).
Like all the other computers, this Win 2000 machine has "Obtain an IP
address automatically" checked, as well as "Obtain DNS server address
automatically" -- under TCP/IP properties. The advanced TCM/IP setttings are
also the same.
Problem 2:
While I'm at it, a similar, but even more confusing problem occurs on a
Windows XP Pro machine: it quickly displays shared files on computers A, B,
C, but takes about 30 seconds to display shared files on Computer D (a
Windows XP Home Edition). Other computers, however, on the network (XP Pros
and Win 98 quickly display the shared files on Computer D.
Thanks for any help,
Mark
