I have a windows xp laptop and vista pc and xp pc all on a network. it used to go very fast when i'd select a file from another computer (only use the network for excel and word files)
Now, when i goto network places, it takes a good 60 seconds to display the computers. then to select a file from them takes at least 60 seconds per click...so if its buried within 4 folders, it can take me a while to get to it...if it doesnt freeze!
this used to happen if my pc im pulling from was asleep...but they are all powered on and running...and run ning quickly if you use them directly
any suggestions?
