I was going to try over a network, but I thought I'd start with the above. On an XP computer, with a user in the Administrators group, I executed command (console Vim 7.2): vim \\computer\c$\test.txt replacing 'computer' with the name of the computer, and where file C:\test.txt exists (130 bytes), and c$ is the default administrative share for C:\. Result: File displayed immediately (under half-second delay). If you don't get the same, I suppose I won't bother with more elaborate testing. We are now off-topic for Vim, but you should check what network protocols you have installed, and how name resolution is configured. Assuming TCP/IP only, it's a bit perplexing because the system is supposed to recognise its own name as the first step. Perhaps look in the System log in Event Viewer and see if there are any complaints (errors since the last start). I wonder if some anti-virus software is giving trouble.
