Perhaps...all workstations and the netapp are on an ethernet switch and of course, the web interface of the NetApp doesn't show any problems or very much usage. Any guesses as to why the problem is only showing up in the NT Workstations and not the Win2K boxes when the NT Workstations are on faster boxen? BTW, we have the latest upgrades on the NetApp. A couple of weeks ago performance degraded very badly all of a sudden. When the software was upgraded and after a bunch of disk churning, the disk sped back up again.
