Re: Long Pause when accessing mapped drives -- Please Help

There is no good reason for the workstation to have an isp dns
populated. If you have problems without it then you have problems.
ipconfig/all from server, good workstation and bad workstations. Bad
workstations are trying to go out to the real world to figure out what
you mean when you say \\servername. The real world has no clue what
\\servername is.

Hello,
Thank you for reading my post.
Running SBS 2000 Domain Single NIC configuration.

This problem has arrised on two XP pro machines where the users are
complaining very slow response when browsing to a mapped drive or opening a
file on a mapped drive from applications like Word or Excel.

In other words, when the users click on the mapped drive, they say it takes
a while for files and folders to appear.

Just so you know, both clients experiencing this problem have a public DNS
as primary, and the server IP as secondary as far as NIC settings go (all
clients are set for static). Also, all power settings for both clients
including the server's nic are all unchecked.

I would rather only have the server's IP as the ONLY DNS entry on the
clients, but with out that Public DNS for some reason, they would no longer
be able to access their POP3 email accounts.

My own client machine's IP setting are setup the same, along with all the
other clients; and me nor the other users have no delay what so ever when
accessing a mapped drive.

Any help would be really appreciative. Thank you.
