on a windows98 machine the os keeps a tmp image of who is on the network. Win2k is updating the network everytime you attempt to access a network share to give you the best information.
If you are contacting the same network share all the time, you may want to concider mapping the share to your machine. This will increase the speed at which w2k connects to the location you are seeking.
Another concideration is that w2k is so much more complex and secure than w98, so there are issues of slowness while w2k addresses the security risks of each network share you attempt to access.
