I'm not talking about file names. I'm talking about mapping a drive
(e.g. C:) which is in a Windows 2000 laptop (e.g. win2k1) from a
Windows XP laptop using 'Start - Run... - \\win2k1\c$ - Ok'.

I'm wondering why it takes more than 1 minute to get the login prompt
if I do on the Windows XP laptop
Start - Run... - \\win2k1\c$ - Ok

However, if I do it from the Command Prompt of the Windows XP laptop
with
net use z: \\win2k1\c$ /user:testuser testpw
it connects within a couple of seconds.
