GUI v cmd listing of remote files
I'm having an issue with a server at another location in our wan.
If I run at a command prompt:
c> dir \\remotesvr\share
I get a list of directories and files:
[snip]
8 File(s) 929 bytes
140 Dir(s) 2,099,658,973,184 bytes free
HOWEVER
if I run
start \\remotesvr\share
OR map a drive to \\remotesvr\share,
all I get is the flashlight for about fifteen minutes before I get a response.
On the same server, \\remotesvr\OtherShare has
40 File(s) 513,553,062 bytes
99 Dir(s) 2,099,659,321,344 bytes free
and it pops right up.
Is there a number of directories, over which the gui freezes when getting directory information?
Why would it take so long to show the directory?
Thanks,
Rob

Re: GUI v cmd listing of remote files
How are you connecting to the remote server?
Does start->run \\remotesvr\share work?

It works the same as
start \\remotesvr\share
OR map a drive to \\remotesvr\share --
Long wait time with the flashlight.
Thanks,
Rob

Re: GUI v cmd listing of remote files
Remote server is 2000 server; we're looking at it from XP Pro and 2000 clients.
Thanks,
Rob

Re: GUI v cmd listing of remote files
Is the share a default share?.. if so try creating a new one with a name.
Have you checked permissions on the remote share?
Also, are you connecting using VPN?? how remote is remote?

Re: GUI v cmd listing of remote files
Map a drive from the command prompt:
net use m: \\remotesvr\share
To restore current connection at each logon:
net use /persistent:yes
If the net use worked, then just create a batch file and setup the logon script in the remote server.
As far as the delay. If the remote 2000 Server is a WINS and DNS server, add the the ip address of WINS & DNS in your WinXP Client and make bind them to be the first in the list. Now see if you still have the same delay.
I think that it's a good idea to re-organize the folders and give permissions accordingly since I'm sure it consumes bandwidth when users try to connect at the same time?
Hope this help

Re: GUI v cmd listing of remote files
What is the bandwidth between your client and the remote server? is it heavily loaded?
If it is small or heavily used, then the GUI listing may just time out, by comparison the CLI version is requesting and sending far less data and so will come back fine.
I used to see this happen all the time over 64K links, I know these are pretty rare nowadays but if the link is saturated by other traffic you could have only this amount or less 'free'.
Cheers
