slow access

[Tester]

Hi there,
Is there any tune up of the windows XP Professional besides the service
packs?
XP clients accessing and transferring files from a windows 2000 server over
the Wan are slower than NT clients.
Thanks a lot, Calin

Ensure that you have good DNS name resolution in your environment.
All Windows XP clients should point to an internal DNS server that is
authoritative for the domain.

If that is OK, then you might want to enable UserEnv logging
and take a network trace to see where the delay is:
