 Last reviewed: August 13, 1997
Article ID: Q159970
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 takes approximately 20 seconds to display folders and files in Network Neighborhood when CSNW is installed. This may also occur if the NWLink IPX/SPX interface is disabled while the RAS interface is enabled. If you enable NWLink IPX/SPX on the NIC interface or disable CSNW, the time decreases to 1 to 2 seconds.

CAUSE

There is a problem in the Client Services for NetWare redirector (Nwrdr.sys).

STATUS
