I had a few network problems with XP and networked drives
on a Netware server, but the SP1 for XP sorted it out. You
could also take the tick out of use simple file sharing
(in windows explorer, tools folder options, view - scroll
right down to the bottom). Also are you using a switched
network and are the network cars running at full speed
with the switch.
