bsdme2 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi folks,I need help.We have a peer to peer network here in our company, for some reason, my boss computerhave issue when he open My Network Place and it take like 30 sec or more to be able to display other computers or shared document on the network.My computer or other don't have that issue. We have about 18 PC on the network.Anyone have a clue why it take long time to be able to see other computer/shareon the network place? I check all the setting, firewall, anti-viruses, etc. butcouldn't find the problem. I guess it laying somewhere in the operating system.We use Windows XP.Thank in advance,BSDME2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
