At our workplace we have public folders with a contacts list in it. Everyone can access and make changes to the contacts except for one person who can access the contacts but cant do any editing? Why is this and how do I fix it?

It is because that single person is not authorized to make changes so they are restricted from making changes.

If that's how it was setup it's working correctly and there is nothing to fix.

If it's not what was originally intended we'll need to know a lot more about the Setup, the Topology of the LAN and so on not to forget the OS's in use. Before we can Begin to start helping you. ;)

Ok so ive managed to fix that problem however now I have another one. Ive got about 2 Xp machines that are reaching the log on stage of 'Applying Personal Settings' and then taking about 5-6mins to log on to the network. Any advice?

Also you can check for IP Conflicts and so on on the LAN.

If I have a pc with a 1Gigabit network card in it attached directly to a 1Gigabit Switch via a CAT5 cable whats the best performance I would get out it??

But the reality is somewhat slower depending on several things but the most important is the Read Speed of the HDD and the Buss Speed of the computers involved.
