to two XP Home clients. I have mapped the user share to drive h: on the clients. When I open the network drive from "My Computer" explorer hangs for between 10 and 20 mins. After this time it opens correctly and functions normally. However, if I open a cmd session I can cd into h: and access the files with no problems (even while the explorer is hung). Before upgrading to XP I was running Win98 on the clients and all worked fine. I have serached the mailing lists and web but cannot find any mention of this problem. Any help greatly appreciated. CE
