We just discoverd something yesterday. If you are using the Novell client, you definitely need to install the newest 4.9 client for XP machines. It makes a BIG difference in navigating to Novell mapped drives and applications run off a novell server. Sad to say it doesn't help Microsoft slow connections to MS servers, but once there an initial connection to one of the drives on the MS server the others seem to be adequate. I don't know if there is any timeout issues. It seems MS hasn't got all the bugs worked out with connection issues for XP.. Our Win 2000 systems don't seem to have this problem.

I have had similar experiences with XP pro and various programs. What seemed to help out the most was changing the network provider order.
1. Right click on "my network places". 2. Click on Advanced-Advanced settings. 3. Click on the "provider order" tab. 4. Under network providers move "microsoft windows network" to the top.
For some reason terminal services has priority by default. It seemed to fix my slow opening/printing problems.

We have a similar problem at a client. An IBM ThinkPad, a Dell Latitude, and a Dell PC with a radio link, all running XP Pro, work just fine. Several other PCs, happen to be Dells, running XP Pro are slower than molasses in January. The PC with the radio link runs slowly when connected directly rather than over the radio link. We have not yet come up with a resolution, or even what the problem is, precisely.
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but...

Hi all -
Got a call from a client this morning. RBW 6.5++ was moved to an XP system and is taking about 1 minute to load. This is on a fast new machine. It is stable once loaded. Ideas?
TIA, Bernie
