I have an NT 4.0 network and am introducing XP workstations. I have noticed that XP handles network browsing at a significantly slower rate than 98 machines. This has started to cause some files to lockup when trying to save to network folders that contain thousands of files. Is there a setting that can be change to increase network browsing speed?

View your network connections. Right click on the network connection your want and select properties. Find QoS in the list of services and take the checkmark out of that box. That should free up about 15% of your bandwidth. Make sure that you have the correct DNS addy's in there too.
