I have just upgraded to NetWare 6 and everything works fine except, when I go to access the drives on the Novell server they are very slow. It takes 5 to 6 seconds to open a folder. I don't remember is taking this long in NetWare 5. I have 98 through XP machines running and they all do the same thing. Are there any tips someone can give me to speed up this connection. Thanks in advance for any help.

The first two suggestions are to make sure you're using the most recent client software, and that it is installed to use only one protocol. The other is to disable client-side file caching.

instead of going to each individual client and disableing file caching you can disable the client file caching feature on the server bysuing a set command set ncp client file caching = off if my syntax is incorrect search for the command on novels website it will be really close to the command that I just gave.
