Hi Jim
Here is what I did:
I unchecked the Novell client in the connection box, logged off and
logged back on without logging into Novell. There was a noticeable
difference!! Thank you again for advice - I feel much better about this
new server now.
Thanks again!!!
Russell

If you have the novell client installed on your workstations, you should
be able to make the change I mentioned in my previous post to both Win2k
and Winxp boxes, without breaking your connections to your netware
servers.

Hi Jim
Thank you for the quick response! Here is what I should have said...
From the client workstation, documents that reside on the Windows share
are slower to open (generally 5 to 10 seconds) than the same documents
on the Novell server. This is happening on both a W2K professional
workstation and an XP workstation. Any suggestions for W2K machines??
Thank you again
Russell

"The Windows server seems to be a bit slower in opening documents that
are on the network shares."
Could you refine this statement a bit more?
Do you mean that from the console of your new windows 2003 server
accessing and opening documents on remote shares is slow . . or that
from client machines accessing documents on the network shares hosted on
your Windows 2003 server that access is slow?
Off the cuff, if you're replacing a netware environment, that most
likely means you have the Novell client installed on your client
workstations. By default the Nov client sets itself as the highest
priority network provider, over MS, and can make access to MS shares
slower. To fix this do the following from a client workstation w/ the
novell client installed (I'm assuming win XP clients here):
- right click network neighborhood, go to properites
- Select "advanced" and then "advanced settings"
- Select the "provider order" tab
- make sure that Microsoft Windows Network is highest in the
provider order.

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
