Slow List of Folders and Files with CSNW

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.

CAUSE

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

STATUS
