The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows XP Pro SP1 slow to display network drives

Zones: Novell Netware Network Software, Tivoli Storage Manager

Tags: slow, xp, network, windows, drives

I am running Windows XP Pro and am logging into a Netware network. Once XP loads, it is very slow to display the drives in Windows Explorer, it seems to be caching the drives, folders and files, because if you go out and come back into it, everything displays as normal - however log on as a different user or don't use that machine for a couple of days, open windows explorer or my computer and then eventually the drives are displayed after 30 seconds to a minute. Also, if I have a File - Open dialogue box in any Windows application and I want to choose a network drive, XP sits and waits and I usually get a "Not Responding" message in the title bar of the dialogue box, then eventually the drop-down list of drives will appear after about a minute. I have about 15 network drives mapped permanently, most other users have 5 or 6, but it happens logged in as them, all of these drives exist, if I log into a windows 2000 machine next to it, or even on my own machine which is dual boot Win2k, WinXP works fine. So far I have tried disabling netbios over tcp/ip, disabled, automatically search for network folders and printers, turned off Microsoft networking completely, so only have the novell client enabled, but to no avail

Any suggestions, as this is making XP pretty unusable !!

Thanks
