Hi,

I have three small networks, all of them domains with Windows 2000
Server. One of the networks has only win98 clients.... no problem. The
other has mixed win2kclients and win98 clients... no problem. The third
one has Windows XP professional clients. On this network with the same
server config as all the others I experience a very slow network
performance when people open and especially when they save for example a
Word document to the Windows 2000 Server.

Till now I have no idea if I do something wrong or XP sucks.

I'm very interested in tips how to overcome this problem.

Thanks,

Ronald
