Slow opening network folders

I just built a new system and installed XP Pro and Vista Home premium in a
dual boot configuration. It is connected via Cat5 cable to my home network
which has two other systems. Network is set up as a workgroup. I can see all
the shares ,etc - that part is ok.
Problem - using the new system ( either XP or Vista does the same, BTW) I
click on a network share - folder opens immediately displaying file contents
and then hangs(busy icon) for many seconds before the highlight will show on
first file. After than it zips right along. I notice a lot of disk activity
while it's waiting. It seems like it's scanning the whole folder or
something. Now, if I do the reverse and open a folder on the new install
from one of the older systems, no problem - everything opens and works just
like I was on the local system.
The info on the new network says it's a 100mb/sec connection.
I reduced the local intranet security settings to low - no help. I feel
it's some obscure security setting that I'm missing but I sure don't know
which one.
I don't think it's a hardware issue because after the first "scan"
everything moves right along.
Anyone have any idea where I can look to fix this? And it's something that
is going to be common between XP & Vista.
Thanx,
Vic
