slow to open shared folder on w2k3 server

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I have been trying to identify this problem and has not been having any luck.

The problem is that it takes around 5-8 seconds to open (through browsing the network) a shared folder on a w2k3 server (newly setup) even it is empty.

Tried the followings and none of them can change the behavior

with or without SP1 installed
server is a DC, member or standalone server
use Windows XP pro and Windows 2000 as clients

I even placed the client and the server machines on a stand alone network switch with private IP address space and it is not working neither.

Microsoft KB has the new tcp setting tcpackfrequency and it doesn't now fix my problem too.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Keith
