Hi,

I have a Windows XP SP3 PC copying to Server 2003 share. Using the IP
Address it's quite quick to copy, but when I use the netbios name 'server'
it's a lot slower. Why is this and what can be done?

I'm assuming some DNS name resolution issue, but any thoughts please let me
know please.

Thanks

Chris
