Since were on the topic of network browsing, I have noticed that windows2000 is MUCH slower at it than 98/NT4. At least it is for me.

It may be slower because 2000 looks for Active Directory and all of that other crap. It will run much faster if your server is running 2000 and your using 2000 pro. But if your using NT4 server and 2000 pro the network access will seem slower.
OP
