I had the same problem. It turned out to be a bug in ontap. I noticed that disabling the virus scanner on my pc fixed it.
I reported the problem to netapp and its fixed in 6.1.1R2 .... my suggestion is to upgrade.

Hi,
I have this weird issue with file access to a particular file on our filer. When you click on the file it hangs the Windows Explorer for a good few minutes before it returns control. If I attempt to copy the MS Word file (1.7mb) it takes an extremely long time (up to 5 minutes). Other files of the same size or larger copy fine from Filer to Windows 2000 Server or Professional. From NFS the same file copies fine. If I look at the same file from the snapshot directories in Windows, file access time is fine.
Here's what we have: F760 with CIFS and NFS licenses. NetApp Release 6.0.1R3 oplocks globally disabled per netapp support mixed qtrees in Windows 2000 domain and NIS environment Windows 2000 Server/Professional (SP2) as clients
Below is a cifs session of the host that has this file open.
filer> cifs sessions HOST users shares/files open
HOST (DOMAIN\username - username) public R&W-denyN - \Share\Spring_2001_Demonstration\Demonstration - HW SW Interface Description.doc
I'm not sure what the "denyN" in "R&W-denyN" means. I'm curious if anyone's run across this before. I have 2 other NetApps in similar environments and haven't seen this condition on either yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
