LS,
I've got 2 win XP pro laptops (HP) with "My documents" folder on the
same fileserver.
both laptops are configured to work offline as well.
When I download a large file from an intranet webserver (next to the
users file server) to both "My documents" folders on those laptops,
the first does the job in 1 minute the other takes more than 10
minutes. Note that the actual download (pull) time to a temporay
folder performs the same on both computers, but the actual upload
(push) to "My documents" is slow on the second laptop.
when I exchange the cables and even exchange patch points, the first
laptop remains acceptable and the second still performs badly. So in
my opinion it must have to do something with the laptops
configuration.
Both laptops are running win XP SP1 with McAfee 8.1 antivrus software
and have McAfee 8 firewall up and running.
