network drives

I was wondering if anybody has any answers. I have a peer to peer network with a w2k, xpp, and 2 win 98 computers. On my xpp when I am in my windows explorer everytime I go to a different folder all my network drives get scanned on all the computers. It is really annoying and I can't find any answers. It used to not do it so I figure it must be a setting change. Thanks in advance for any help.

i think i know what you mean, i had the same problem, whenever i opened windows explorer, my computer would scan my network (using LinkSys 4 port router with 1 xp, 1 98FE, 1 mac os9.2, and 1 2000) for every drive available which was incredibly annoying. finally, i just let it do its thing and then highlighted all of the drives and deleted them. this seemed to stop them from trying to reappear for good. hope that helps...

If you do not have any software that requires drives to be mapped, disconnect your mapped drives. You can always access a share from My Network Places/Network Neighborhood.
