I have 3 pcs, all Dell Optiplex GX240 P4, 1.6ghz 256 RAM 19gb HD running Windows 2000 Pro with 3com 3c905c NICs running at 10mbps.
It seems that anytime a document in someone elses 'my documents' folder needs to be opened from a different pc, the pc doing the opening slows to almost crashing, or just crashes. Nothing that can't be resolved by control alt delete. Individually the pcs have no problem opening documents on their own hard drive. The cables all work fine, as do the NICs
All documents are Office XP documents.
All cables go into a hub.
Not sure where to start, I've turned off all 3d style screensavers and waiting to see if that makes a difference.
Any ideas would be greatly received.
Thanks
