Network hardrive, explorer freeze

[Kristoffer Stenman]

Hello
I have a really strange problem.
Everything has worked fine untill recently. Every other
time i try to open a shared hardrive on my home network
the window stops responding. So i close it down and then
explorer shuts down also, so i only see my background. So
then i have to open the taskmanager and restart
explorer.exe now everything seems fine. But when i then
try to surf the web, my web browser freezes(IE6). It
continues to freeze everytime a start it for about 5
minutes. After 5 min has passed the "my Documents" folder
opens up(for no reason)!? and after that folder has
opended everything is back to normal. I can reach my
shared harddrive and everything works fine, but after a
while if i try to open the network harddrive this happens
again. Could this be some sort of registery error?
I use WinXP with SP1 and all the latest
updates /Kristoffer Stenman

I have the exact same problem. Anybody know what is
going on? Is there a TCP/IP problem between my XP system
and t he shared hard drive? Getting very annoying.
