How come there is about a 3-8 sec lag on going to any networked drive on a local lan.. (Peer to Peer) If I try to access a local hard drive on my lan it lags like I said.. but if I use win98 it comes up like NOW? Its been this way in all versions of 2000 is there something I have to set so the computers are instant access? In the user settings or LAN settings? Thanks and HELP!

OP
Not so.. I have (2) networked 2000 systems and one 98.. and any of the win2k systems that I use have LAG but when i goto the 98 system it brings up the network drives instantly and the 2k systems have 10 sec lag? is there settings like mapping drives or something?

Totaly know the pain, i have had the same win 2k problem. it was so much faster in 98 for some reason. i ended up just mapping drives in my computer. that was faster. but even in net neighborhood i would look up my own computer, and it was terribly slow.
