NEtwork problem

[Kurt Peter]

I have this problem where by 8 of my 60 machine on my
network hangs when ever I browse the local machine as
well as when I browse unc paths. But have I pull out the
network cable I can browse the local machine with no
problem. I have done all windows updates and have
replaced the network cards. The only fix I can find is
to reinstall, and it is not an option.

You might try disabling netcrawling in the registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced]
Value Name: NoNetCrawling
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Data: (0 = Search Enabled, 1 = Search Disabled)
