    Hello,
    I'm writing a client VB6 program that reads and writes data on a DB and, at the same time, some files in a directory of the server where the DB is.

    Reading data and files from server it's OK.

    Writing data to the DB it's OK.

    Writing files (in my case, three very small files) with a client running Win98 it's OK, but if the client is running WinXP or Win2000 there is a freezing lasting 1 to 2 minutes before the successfully writing.
    The server is also a WinXP.

    I think the problem is in some LAN configurations or tasks priority....
    Have you any ideas?

    Thank you very much! :)

    Paolo

    Speed up network (LAN) browsing in Win2K and XP
    Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)

    Rename the following registry entry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \Software
    \Microsoft
    \Windows
    \CurrentVersion
    \Explorer
    \RemoteComputer
    \Namespace
    \{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

    For example, you can rename it to:

    DISABLED {xxD6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

    This change prevents the browsing computer from checking for scheduled tasks on the remote machine before connecting, which is apparently the reason for the slowness.

    Steve, Thank You for your help...

    Unfortunately I tried to rename and delete the registry entry in the client and in the server also, but things didn't change...

    The freezing it's about 40 seconds and in some few times it doubles...

    Any others ideas ??

    Thank You!

    Paolo

    I solved the problem in a different way.

    I made my program compose the three file in the local drive, then move them to the server.
    This way there is no more freezing...

    It remains the curiosity for an explanation of this strange behaviour...
