Slow Performance in displaying a mapped drive

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a client who is using a NT4 server in his environment still.
When a W2K machine tries to map a drive from the NT4 server, the local machine will takes about more than a minute for the system to display the files.

I must say that this drive is a dept files storage. It has more than 10,000 engineering files in it. Had try to ask the client to migrate the files to W2K platform. But due to some business reason, thus not able to do so.

How can I speed up the display in this mapped drive on a Win2K machine? Are there any settings or configurations to do on my w2k machine.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks in advance.

Is Netware running on the network? If so, this was a
bug in certain versions of their client software.
