Slow to Open

C

Casey

I have a spreadsheet on a server over a WAN that takes
servral minutes to fully open and become avilable for
editing and saving. My spreadsheet has 100+ hyperlinkgs to
various locations on the local LAN and WAN. I sniffed my
packet stream from both server and client and I am getting
15 thousand frames of a protocol called CIFS/SMB.

The Common Internet File System (CIFS) is an extension of
the Server Message Block (SMB) file sharing protocol. With
it, any application that processes network I/O can access
and manipulate files and directories on remote servers in
the same way that it accesses and manipulates files and
directories on the local system.

In the OSI networking model, CIFS is most often used as a
Application/Presentation layer protocol, with CIFS relying
on lower-level protocols for transport. The transport
layer protocol that CIFS is most often used with is
NetBIOS over TCP/IP, or NBT.

Is there anyway around this time lag when opening the xls
file??
