I've seen this on native Microsoft Windows fileshares as well. We recently moved some clients to Microsoft Windows XP which was when this problem started. Curiously, the slow-down only occurs when browsing using "My Network Places" - Microsoft Windows Explorer appears unaffected. I have not found real a solution or a cause, other than not to use "My Network Places". My spider senses tell me it is some sort of caching issue... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
