Hello,

I have a network that consists of about 20 Windows 2000 machines, 3 windows
98 machines, and 4 windows NT 4 machines. We have a software application that
runs on all of these using the various incarnations of Windows Imaging that
allows our users to look at scanned documents for varous tasks.

On the Windows 2000, 98, and NT computers it takes about 1 second to connect
to a 20 page tif and display the first page and 7 thumbnails of subsequent
pages.

I just added three Windows XP Professional computers to our network. These
machines all have 5 to 6 times as much memory and CPU horsepower, yet it
takes them one second per thumbnail to display the same documents.

Are there any ideas as to how I can speed up the network access time of
these XP machines?

I have tried the fixes for disabling the scheduler on browsing but that has
not helped anything. I stopped the firewall service and that didn't change
anything. I am a bit lost as to what to try now. I have used a communication
package to look at the TCP communication between the workstation anf the file
server and I am not seeing any errors reported in the SMB blocks.
