Re: New W2008 Server with S-L-O-W connection to IFS

Don't know if this will help but we do the following for all WIN7-Pro pc
installs to improve the response time for accessing and saving documents in
directories in the IFS. It may be different on the server. Hope it helps.

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 and need to map a drive to an
iSeries IFS directory you will need to follow the steps below:
1) Open the Local Security Policy editor: Start – Run – “secpol.msc”
2) If a User Account Control window appears, click Continue.
3) Expand Local Policies – Security Options
4) Double-click “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”
5) Change the value to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if
negotiated”

The pc must be rebooted for this change to take effect.
