Hello All,

I work in a MIS department consisting of 5 employees. Each of us is using a pentium 120 or better connected to the /400 via 10baseT ethernet. We share files and printers via the Windows95 Microsoft Network and believe it or not everything works together quite well. However, I've noticed that anytime the /400 is connected to the Microsoft Network, we experience very slow access to shared resources. If we bypass the /400, the access time is great! For instance, if I open Network Neighborhood, it usually takes close to a minute to display everyone in my workgroup when the /400 is included. In contrast, if I bypass the /400, my workgroup is accessed almost instantly. The same is true for any activity that accesses the /400 on the Microsoft Network.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix?

Thanks!
