Re: Slow access to mapped network drive

Hi Uli,

It seems like it is the built in windows firewall which slows down
everything.. Disabling it makes the shares just as fast as expected from
winxp to winxp shares.

For some security we used the IPSEC part of winserver2003 to allow access
from only certain ip-adresses.

Hope this helps,

Gert

Hi,

We have tried to use shortcuts to the shares, but they are also very slow
when accessing them the first time (and again after a period of idle).

Also some SMB signing was turned off, but that also didnt help. Accessing
shares from client to client (winxp to winxp) is working correctly, only the
shares at the server (winserver2003) are very slow.
Do you have any idea what else could be the issue?

Thanks in advance,

Gert

Is it possible to speed up the initial connection using the windows
explorer?

Use Shortcuts instead of mapped drives.
