We have a remote
site connected to us with a 768k link. Intermittently, when the users at
the remote site double-click "My Computer", it takes 15-20 seconds or more for
the drives to appear. When it's happening, it takes them a long time to
access drive letters back at our headquarters over the WAN. We have tons
of other sites connected this way, and have no issues. The WAN link
utilization is generally below 50% when this is occurring.
If they disconnect
all their network mapped drives, the problem magically goes away.
Is there some
settings in WinXP and 2K that may cause the OS to do all kinds of checking and
searching whenever My Computer is launched that might slow them down?
We've been troubleshooting this site problem for over 2 years now. We also
tried giving them their own local WINS server, and they have their own local DNS
server running on their local domain controller. There is about 50 users
at the site.
Any
ideas?
