Hello, excuse for my english..I'm italian
I have this problem
I have a fileserver Win XP Pro, motherboard MSI P4N SLI, 2 GB RAM, 2 Seagate
250Gb in

mirroring, Pentium 4 3Ghz. In this file server there is a share $D in which
there are

some configuration of autocad 2005 such as plots, styles etc...so any user
who use

autocad installed on any client have the same configurations...in this share
there

are also the files DWG used by the users. There are 5 clients on which are
installed

Win 2000 Pro, Autocad 2005, Norton AV Corporate. The employee log on to the
client

with local administrative privileges, start autocad, open a file on the
share $D on

the server Win XP Pro, and works...
First Problem: when draw a line it takes from 2 to 4 seconds to view the
line!!!
Second problem: when I try to launch a preview it takes from 20 to 40
seconds to

preview!!! ...for files not so big..says..medium-small!!!

Note that: the old server was a Win2000 Pro, with only one HD maxtor, with
less RAM,

with motherboard less performance...butthis problems dosent appears!!!
Win Xp Firewall is disabled on to server and on to clients...

I was monitoring the net...and there is a lot of bandwidth...so nothing
bottleneck

over the net...

I'm begin crazy for this problem...
Can anyone help me??..Thanks a lot!!!
