Can somebody give me an idea as to what might be causing
this problem? We are experiencing an increasing number
of instances where our workstations freeze up when we try
to load a file, save a file or browse a directory over the
network. When I say freeze, I don't mean that the machine
locks up and the user has to reboot the computer.
Eventually control is given back to the user but it will
take as long as two to three minutes before that occurs
and the users are getting increasing impatient with this
situation. I have supplied a brief description of our
network at the bottom of this message for anybody whose
interest. Any help in fixing this problem would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Steve Rulison
