czerwinski1977 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi there,I work on an XP SP2 workstation which is connected to a LAN with other workstations. Server is a Windowss Server 2003.When I open the windows explorer, choose Network/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network, the explore takes a while (30 sec) to respond. Finally, the local network is visible.I open the local network, and explorer spends another minute without responding to the system.Why is this? How can I solve it? Funnily, we have workstations that don't behave that way, respond instantly.Thanks in advance!Cz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've always wondered about this too. I thought they all just took a while except for ones that have cached the info or workgoup computer. Sorry I don't have an answer I just wanted to say your not the only one. My guess is its a tcp/ip setting. Something like TTL or something and all the computers its trying to browse are no longer connected so the TTL gets maxed out. Theres probably a registry fix for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Can you not just map the drives? That way the delay is at startup and will not effect you while browsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
