Shared Network Toolbox is slow...

deek05 · Sep 8, 2003

Is there a way to speed up sharing the Toolbox on a network. The first time we insert a toolbox part (testing with a socket head cap screw) takes about 1:20 and then another :15 to load it to the assembly. If I delete the toolbox part and insert it again it takes about :50 and it loads instantly. The only thing I know about our Network is that it's Novell. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Novell is more likely the problem. At the SW site in the KBA there is an artciel called "Trouble shooting a Crash prone system" In that article it comments on a Novell network. SW recommends you use an Windows 2000 Network.

I used a Novell network at my last job and that Netowrk was a dog with SW. I move files locally and the problems went away.
