Hi

We have offices in four states and in each state we have Windows 2003 server. They are inter-connected and we are using DFS to sync data between.

We have users who travel interstate. They are having a weird issue where they click on network drive (say R:) and either hangs the computer or takes some time to open it.

But if we go to folder directly (for expample R:\general\data) then it works.

I have tried following steps:

> run dfsutil /spcflush

Any suggestions !

Regards
Angad

You have the network drives (that hang) mapped, how are they mapped? UNC like \\xxx\xxx? Try using IP addresses instead of names.
