I have a few NT 4.0 workstations that experience slow network response when receiving non TCP/IP packets. These PCs are the same manufacture and model as other PCs that do not exibit this same problem. Here is an example:
From one PC, I can access a directory on a server across a T1 connection and modify the security permissions without any hesitations or delays. From one of the troublesome PCs, this same action will all but lock up the PC.
Both systems can access tcp/ip (FTP, HTTP) servies with no delays and adequate response times. I know that these two separate protocalls utilize different search directives (netbios, host, lmhost, cache, DNS) but all services and are configured the same on the two PCs.
Any comments of answers wouldbe appreciated.
