You didn't mention which OS you're running, so I'll assume it's W2K. I'll take an educated guess and say that "Client for Microsoft Networks" isn't installed. To install the Client for Microsoft Networks...

Start | Settings | Network and Dial-up Connections | Click "Local Area Connection" | Select "Properties" on the File menu | Click "Install" | Click "Clients", click "Add", click "Client for Microsoft Networks", and then click OK (this procedure adds the Client for Microsoft Networks to all network connections, not just the one you've selected).

Well, this might not help your situation, but.. I had a problem with IE taking ages to load. I found out the problem, someone had run Kazaa on my work machine while I was on vacation (someone's kid), and there was a spyware/adware program that was slowing everything down. Ad-aware took care of it.

THanks for the replies ....I just did a clean install got tired of screwing with it....Rick
