Hi,


I replaced my old file server (Windows 2000 Pro Desktop!) by a SBS2003 R2.
I moved all data to the new SBS2003 server and created identical shares,
removed shares from old Win2K file serer and turned it off.

Now, on a WinXP Pro desktop when starting Windows Explorer or IE6,
I get annoying delays. The network tray icon reveils a delay of several
seconds
before network traffic takes place. Then files / sites show up quickly
rightafter.

When the old file server is powered up (still connected to network), the
delays
are gone. I suspect the WinXP desktop still uses links to the old file
server but
have no clue where to look.

Q1. What can I do to get rid of these delays ?
Q2. Is there a (MS or 3rd party) tool to get rid of these old file links
and/or track delays in file / web acces.


Please help !
Thank you.

Did you try restarting the router?

See if you have any maps remaining to the old server that might not be
associated with drive letters. These won't necessarily show up in Windows
Explorer in My Network Places (in my experience anyway!).

If you have then type NET USE [the path] /DELETE to remove it.
