In the home setup here, the network runs rather smoothly and quickly
with one exception. Before explaining the exception let me preface
with the following. When on the tower PC I can enter, RUN \\laptop
and virtually instantly the shared drives pop up, and visa versa.
The exception occurs when accessing the NETWORK in Explorer. When
the workgroup is clicked it seems explorer grinds for a while (27
sec.) before networked computers show up. Does any body know why
this s-l-o-w retrieval? Does anybody know how to speed it up? Seems odd
explorer would be so slow when drives pop up almost
instantly from a command prompt!
Seems like normal to me. When you map a drive share from the command
prompt:
net use x: \\server\sharename
It merely does what you tell it - which is one thing.
When y9ou open up the GUI, it has all those background actions it is also
taking. Looking for more shares, looking for file types and how to display
them, looking for file attributes, etc.
Just create some batch script to map the shares you wish to from now on and
run it and then open my computer/windows explorer to get to what you want.
