Previously, the workstations on my network were running NT workstations 4.0 and Office 2000. I also have a network drive on each workstation that maps to a resource on a remote server over a 64KWAN link.
An observation has been made as I have been progressively installing Windows 2000 on these workstations. File operations such as ?File Open?, File Save? and File save As? across my installed applications (Office 2000 and Adobe acrobat reader) seem to hang for about 30 seconds before responding, at the level of the ?Look in:? or ?Save in:? drop down list that shows the file location. This does not happen when I disconnect the network drive mapped onto the remote server. I have installed the latest service packs (Windows 2000 SP2 and Office 2000 SR1a followed by Office 2000 SP2) but the problem is still there. This problem is not encountered on Workstation that are still on Windows NT 4.0.
Any helpful suggestions will be highly appreciated
