Win2K Server -> XP Clients

[Chris Kurn]

I have two Win 2K servers w/AD. Clients XP Pro, 98se

Until recently, The XP clients had no problems accessing a
particular share on one of the servers. Now, I try to open
the share and it takes up to 5 minutes to display the
contents. After the initial 5 mins, it will open and
display the contents instantly.

Any ideas?

Check the ipconfig/all. Does everything point to your server-IP? It might
also help to put the XP-nics on anything but autosense.

Everything points to my server, and I even tried the NIC
idea. Still the same problem. It's strange that it just
started. I wonder if its related to a hot fix.

Right.
Have a look at the following

that require smb signing
