We just put up a Netware 6.0 server and when the users go to file -open and browse to K:\data which is sys1 it is very slow. It only seems to be happening with the Microsoft office suite. The users are running the novell client 4.83sp1 ,Win2k sp3 and office xp sp2. The funny thing is when you go threw windows explorer it is ok. It only happens when you hit file open on excel. Any help would be great

The closest thing I kind find to your problem, may be a fix;

Method 2: Change Print Provider Order
If the client computers are part of a Novell network, you can change the print provider order to increase the speed of the display of the available network printers. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.
On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings.
Click the Provider Order tab.
In the Network providers list, click NetWare Print Services.
Click the up-arrow button to move NetWare Print Services to the top of the Print Providers tree.
Click OK, and then close the Network and Dial-up Connections window.

Rather than print provider, change the network provider priority settings.

I have also applied all the xp office service pack's and it has helped with the problem.
