I'm at work, working a trouble ticket.

Windows XP Pro - Anything on the network (Mapped Drives, Printer Queues,
etc) does not refresh unless F5 is pressed to force the refresh. Locally,
everything refreshes as normal.

(Example: Users H drive is a mapped network drive. User copies file to H
drive but the file does not appear until F5 is pressed.)

Any clues?

None ...

VERY large network (LAN/WAN 8000+ workstations) using mostly (98%) XP/2000
clients, AD, and Windows 2000 servers (2003 in testing).
