Default missinng network drive causes delays


(cross-post added to XP Networking)
"easily_confused" wrote in message ...
I have a network drive configured that is my ipod touch (actually, an
application on the touch). I map a drive to
the URL and then I can transfer files to/from the ipod touch (iphone).

When the ipod is not connected I run into a delay problem when I try certain
things.

For example, clicking on a txt file should open my editor, but it takes
forever.
If I just open the file with the editor using the context (right click)
menu, it happens immediately.

If I click on the txt file, explorer hangs either until something times out
(30 sec?), or until I open another explorer window (opening the other window
somehow causes the edit session to open). But, even after the edit session
is opened by opening another explorer, the initial explorer window is still
hung until I open yet another explorer session (the third one). Then, it
displays "there was an error sending the command to the application" (even
though the edit session opened with the second session).

If I reboot, this doesn't happen for a while, then it starts happening. If
I delete the drive mapping, it goes away. But, I don't want to delete the
drive mapping. I just want it to stop trying to access it unless I
specifically try to access the ipod.

Is there any way to configure that?

I also don't understand why clicking on the file (which then trys to open
the txt file through the file associations) would try to access the network
drive, but opening the file directly (through the right click "open with
....) happens immediately.

Thanks

EC



Did all this start happening after you got some help from MS for your
Red-X symptoms? eg

Thanks, I'll try that.

BTW Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer are not the same thing.
You may get better assistance from a newsgroup which supports
Networking for your OS which we learned earlier is XPsp3.
