Help with Network Please.

[Dennis DeFillipo]

I have the same issue. However, this is a large multi-
server network. The flashlight takes approximately 90 -
120 seconds to display My Network Places. The situation
exists on some XP machines...not all. We've compared the
configurations of the machines and find no difference.
