Hi all Sorry for the cross post - there is more traffic here than on the W2K3 list. We are in the process of replacing our old Novell F&P server with a Windows 2003 F&P server. The Windows server seems to be a bit slower in opening documents that are on the network shares. DNS looks to be working fine (the ping response times are perfect). There is nothing unusual in the event logs. Is there anything else that I should be looking at?? Help?? Thank you in advance for all your assistance Russell
