Very Slow Network and web Response only in XP

C

Craig

I have XP Pro PC (P4 3GHz)in a small Win2K Domain. All my
Win2K Pro PCs are quick to the network and the web. The
XP Pro PC (by far the fastest hardware) runs incredibly
slow when accessing the network (files on the server) via
My Network Places, File Save or Open Dialog boxes, but
mapped drives are typically fast. During the delay the
computer is extremely unresponsive (can't open a new
window or menu or right click on anything). Also
accessing web sites from within Outlook contact or e-mail
links are extremely slow. Where do I look to troubleshoot
this problem? I'm almost ready to scrap this PC's Setup
and totally reinstall Windows XP althought I am concerned
about reactivation.

This is exactly my problem on my machine, the first of our xp pros. The 3 machines that I have recently added show good response times, including our file server. The 2 98SE machines that remain are VERY quick to open my network places. The dog is mine. I'm going to try the solutions above posted "slug slow XP network response - a Solution!" to see if that helps. I've tried netbois without real success. It's obvious that xp has a problem here. MS needs to help us here
