Slow networking

[Guest]

Dear All masters,

I am from hong kong and got a trouble in my office. My company have about
7-8 PCs, but few days ago, about 4 of them suddenly become very slow when
accessing to the file server.

It is very slow when I listing, opening, saving the files(mostly microsoft
excels and words) throught the network neighbour to the file server(SBS2003).
It takes about 10 minutes to save my 20 MBs excel files.

It's odd that some of the PCs do not have the problems, but all of the PCs
are using the same updated Win XP SP2 and officeXP. I want to know if anyone
one would tell me what's happening or somebody got the same problem with me?

Thank you for all your help.

One possible cause for slow networking is multiple protocols.

Check "browstat status" on a couple of the problem computers, and compare it to
a couple of the working computers.

If no help yet, post "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" for a couple of the
problem computers, and a couple of the working computers.
