Matt,
Microsoft has identify this to be a problem with the XP client. A hotfix is available but I you need to request it from MS support. The patch will be roll up into the next XP service pack (3).
More details here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330929
I applied the hotfix and the Registry changes and it does resolve the 'refresh' problem.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Marcus Bui

sorry for the delay, we have ~300 XP machines which map the same share.

Matt,
How many XP clients are using the filer? Or connecting to the same share? Does the filer experience any performance issue?
thanks, Marcus

Let me take that back... the refresh does happen, but at our site it is only every 20 seconds.

I do not see the refresh traffic you refer to below; however, every time
you
move the mouse in the active explorer window, explorer asks the filer for summary information for the directory/file. When I leave the mouse still,
no
traffic is seen. Is this what you are experiencing?

Hello Toasters,
I have an F740c running 6.1.2R1 in NT4 domain. Currently, the client PC
are
being migrated to XP into W2K AD (mixed mode). Came across a peculiar problem and wondering if anyone else experience it.
XP client with Windows Explorer open is continually refreshing when open against a Filer volume, share folder. Analysis has shown that it seems to be every two seconds a refresh occurs, and when using a network trace tool, it seems to average out
at
around 50K per second. As soon as explorer's focus is placed
elsewhere,
or
shut down, this network load stops. This 'refreshing' only appears if
the
share folder is highly utilize. Connecting to a share folder that is no busy, the 'refreshing' does not exist. Notice this with W2K Pro client
as
well, but not as frequent as XP Client.
thanks,
Marcus Bui
