Slow windows explorer browsing with Win2000 Pro

Guest

I am looking for a resolution to a slow windows browsing issue when an user
attempts to browse to a file on a shared folder from within an application.
The user has Win2000Pro SP4, he is browsing to a Win2000 NAS in an NT4
domain. The problem becomes a major issue when he has Outlook 2000 open and
is trying to attach a file to an email message. It can take up to 2 minutes
for the windows explorer browsing function to allow him to access the folder
on the network share and he has full rights to that folder.

Is it a laptop with a wireless and a wired NIC?

Sorry; neither of the support articles apply. I have the latest patches on
the PC and am not experiencing issues with XP Pro desktops or NT4 desktops on
the same subnet.

Have you tried opening a share via the machines ip address rather than
the name?
