2000 server - xp client slow

[Luc Cool]

I have problem when I try to establish a network connection between a XP
computer and a 2000 sever computer in a domain. The data transfer is very
slow (copying data from the server)

If I use a windows 2000 client everything works fine.
If I use directory sharing between a XP computer and a 2000 computer in the
same workgroup, everything works fine as well.

I checked the event logging of both the server and the XP. Nothing shows up
that might give a hint.

Any help would be much appreciated.

regards..

Tested both systems today.

If I put the executable on the local drive of the XP, everything works fine.
On the windows 2000 computer, it doesn't matter if the executable is on the
server drive or on the local drive.

The exe is a Visual Basic 6.0 application.

The XP machine is a P4 2.8Ghz with 512 Mb ram.

The exe manipulates access databases on the server.

Regards,

Luc

The KB links below may help. Another thing may be to try and disable SMB signing on
the W2K server in the appropriate security policy be it local/domain/OU/domain
controller. If you disable all four security options for "digitally sign
communications" for the server, make sure that the XP computers do not have any
digitally sign communications (always) settings configured in their security
olicy. --- Steve

Thank you for your help Steve.

When I set the Digitally sign communications (if client agrees) to
disabled, the system worked fine (after 2 reboots)
