Hi all,

I'm using all XP pro machines to connect to other XP pro machines over
the internet. When I log in to a remote machine using remote desktop,
my local resources (disk drives on the machine I'm remoting FROM) will
not let me access them (yes, they are checked in the tab to allow usage
of them). I should say, won't let me access them quickly. I can zoom
around in the hard drives of the machines I'm remoted into, but in my
own machine sitting here that I'm working from, when I click on a drive
it just sits here and thinks thinks thinks and maybe a minute later
it'll let me into a folder or drive. Once in, if I try to copy a file
or something across onto the remote machine, it is slooooow.
Any suggestions? I know this isn't correct because I've remoted from
other machines and not had this problem, but here in my office the two
machines I'm using have this problem.

I have a dynamic IP from my ISP. Could that be a problem?
Anitvirus in use on all machines is NAV 2002.

TIA for any help.
