There is no DNS running on this server. Everything is linked via IP addresses unfortunately. I've wrongly added in my opening post that I was typing the server name, but actually I was using IP instead. skipping out DNS altogether...<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a server at a site which has Netware 6.5 Installed.<br />
The machine had been running fine for quite some time, but since they have moved office (we think) that this issues has started coming up. When I go to \\uncpath\share it takes a damn long time to browse the network. Selecting a folder and trying to browse into it, takes another age to process.<br />
<br />
I decided to open up my computer, map drive and selected this same share as a mapped drive. Now... Browsing it is nice and fast! yet, a UNC path to it is still very slow.<br />
Anyone seen anything like this before?<br />
Clients are on version 4.90.<br />
Nothing has changed on server or workstations it seems.<br />

Slow UNC path to Server

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
