[QUOTE="terremoto, post: 1111724, member: 172454"] Just moved a Mac Pro to a new network (relocated from one university lab to that of another university). Network speed (and by that I mean www) was fine at the first institution. Upon moving to the new lab and connecting to the network, the network is very slow. Especially compared to the brand new Macs and new (as well as old) XP Professional machines. When I view Networks via Finder, there are 175 items of Kind 'Neighborhood', most of which have 0 items when I click to expand them [1]. As I press the down arrow to one-by-one expand each network entry, alphabetically, I get the spinning rainbow pinwheel that "freezes" finder for about 60 seconds. This occurs at a greater rate as I move down, until finder freezes at [I]every[/I] entry by about the 'P' entries and I'm forced to give up. Somehow this is being translated into slowing the www traffic to a crawl. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you. [1] For the sake of comparison, we have another Mac (a brand new iMac) that list 112 items of Kind 'Neighborhood' for which the network runs nice and fast. [/QUOTE]
