I have 3 Vista PCs and a Server 2003 computer all ona Gigabit LAN. For some reason if I try to open shares on any Vista system using \\computername\share it takes quite a while for the window to open. Once I have actually accessed the share it performs normally. If I close and reopen the share its not as fast as I like, but not as slow as the initial access was. Once I reboot its all slow again. Any idea what causes this long delay for opening a share?

I have the same EXACT problem with my laptop, which is running Vista. I'm trying to connect to my desktop which is on the network.Did you figure out a solution jtzako?Anyone?

Try this: Start>>Control Panel>>Programs and Features Click on Turn windows features on or off on the left side of the screen Unchecked Remote Differential Compression

I'm going to try this tonight.. so far 1 PC accessing the server seems faster.. working on the other vista machine as soon as its not in use. (vista to vista is the slower of the two normally)

Well, so far so good. It seems to have helped remove that long delay when trying to open a share for the first time. Thanks for the help!
