1306182 2012-10-10 04:25:00 Hi All.

When I want to change a folder's name on the server, it freezes for about 30 seconds before accepting the change.
Also, when opening and saving word and excel files from the server, it can take up to 60 seconds.

The server and my pc are both Win7 64bit

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks. Tried it but it didn't work.

More info: of the seven PCs connected to the server only the ones running Win7 are having this problem.

1306185 2012-10-15 02:05:00 I've seen mapped drives / network drive cause this sort of problem. These are "shares" on someone elses computer (or SAN, or NAS) that are no directly attached to your PC.

In particular connecting to a share that is off-line can cause these freeezing problem; Windows attempt to connect, and times-out some time later.

To see most of your connected network drives, Start... Run...
CMD
(as administrator if possible)

then type in this command

NET USE > TEMP.TXT
TYPE TEMP.TXT

All drives should be "OK". If you see "disconnected", try deleting the drive with

NET USE driveletter /DELETE

By the way, deleting the drive does not delete the drive :) It just deletes your reference to the drive.

1306186 2012-10-31 08:23:00 thanks dragonfly. i tried this, but command said the drive was connected.
i searched for solutions again and found one: to disable SMB2.0.

this worked. opening office files and renaming folders now takes no time at all.
thanks for your assist.
