Annoying file and web access delays after replacing file server

[Guest John7]

Hi,

 

 

I replaced my old file server (Windows 2000 Pro Desktop!) by a SBS2003 R2.

I moved all data to the new SBS2003 server and created identical shares,

removed shares from old Win2K file serer and turned it off.

 

Now, on a WinXP Pro desktop when starting Windows Explorer or IE6,

I get annoying delays. The network tray icon reveils a delay of several

seconds

before network traffic takes place. Then files / sites show up quickly

rightafter.

 

When the old file server is powered up (still connected to network), the

delays

are gone. I suspect the WinXP desktop still uses links to the old file

server but

have no clue where to look.

 

Q1. What can I do to get rid of these delays ?

Q2. Is there a (MS or 3rd party) tool to get rid of these old file links

and/or track delays in file / web acces.

 

 

Please help !

Thank you.

Did you try restarting the router?

Open a cmd window (start->run->cmd) and type NET USE

 

See if you have any maps remaining to the old server that might not be

associated with drive letters. These won't necessarily show up in Windows

Explorer in My Network Places (in my experience anyway!).

 

If you have then type NET USE [the path] /DELETE to remove it.
