For some reason it takes longer for my computers to find
each other now that some are on XP or Windows 2000. Before
if I clicked on a drive on another computer from Explorer
it would jump up immediately. Now it takes 3-15 seconds,
especially the first time or if not used for a while. Any
ideas why>
 
XP and 2000 are looking for a DNS server. You can get
around this by setting up internet connection sharing,
using a router for DHCP or manually making entries in the
hosts file on each computer
