hi.
My XP Pro is has a terrible behavior when i'm off my domain.
When i leave the office i generally put the notbok to hibernation. when i
get back at home and i connect the pc to the home network (wireless or
cabled), he gets really slow performing some tasks, like openning my computer
(probably looking for mapped drives), openning internet explorer (???? why
???), using the start menu, etc.
restarting the network adapter has no effect.
when i do a restart, things get better using internet but when i try to
acces my computer, save documents, etc, it gets really slow again.
AV and Spyware scanners are active and updated.
Where can i look to see what's happening??
thanks!
If you hibernate the computer when moving it, there are a lot of network
settings that really should be, but don't get, reset. Windows Networking is
simple when it works, but there are a lot of ways to make it oh so not simple.
To work on this problem, I'll recommend several diagnostic tools. Firstly, we
have "ipconfig /all", which gives a picture of the IP configuration.

Next, "browstat status" identifies the Windows Networking components which allow
you to "see" other computers in Network Neighborhood ("My Network Places"). You
have to download browstat, but it's free, and easy to install and to use.

Finally, "net config server" and "net config workstation" show information that
help us tie together the information from browstat and ipconfig.
Now, you can provide as little or as much information as you wish, it's your
computer. And we'll try and help you as best we can.

To start, you could provide output from the 4 tools (described above), when the
notebook is at work, and again when at home.
