okay a minor annoyance but my network is fast as hell, sustained 90MB/s copies over it and everything is fine and dandy however whenever i open my network (windows 7) it takes about 15 seconds for my network computers to show up. normally i just access my server using '\\home' which has no problem whatsoever, but on some windows (open folderdialog) its just not possible and you have to wait for all network comps to be found surely there is a service somewhere that is able to keep a map of networked computers and keep it regularly updated anyone know what it is or whether its something that needs to be broadcast or listened or could this be a dns issue? cheers
Well there are myriad things to consider when accessing network shares, such as AntiVirus software, DNS configuration, the NTFS volume (security descriptors & indexes) setup, etc. Also, do you have multiple switches/routers on the network? Do you find that the slowness occurs only when having to traverse switches/routers?
