I am trying to troubleshoot a very small business network. There is a folder
shared from a Windows XP Pro machine, and when initiating a save as dialog to
this location, many office applications will hang when it appears to be
loading the contents of the folder. I have tested Excel and Word, versions
2000 and 2003. Navigating to the folder in explorer works just fine. I
thought rebooting would help, but the issue appears to effect the machine
even after a fresh boot.
Some machines on our network behave correctly. Others will hang for a short
while but eventually load the contents of the folder. Others will hang
indefinitely.
It is always the same machines that have the same type of problem. The
hardware between all these machines is comparable but not identical. All the
machines are running fully updated Windows XP 32 bit.
