Turned out that I had DNS enabled on the filer. Turning DNS off made everything function like it should -- i.e. immediate response from both the server-filer connection and network-filer connection.

Thanks to those that provided tips.

I'm doing some performance testing with an F810 that is connected to our network via the onboard 10/100 NIC. DNS, WINS, etc are configured on that interface. The F810 also has a dual port GbE NIC connected directly to a Win2K server that is also connected via 10/100 to the same network as the F810's onboard 10/100. When I try things such as

rsh 192.168.2.1 date

it takes a VERY long time to run. Also connecting via unc (e.g. \192.168.2.1\c$) takes a lot longer than it does over the 10/100 network. I suspect the issue is really on the Win2K side and how it tries to find clients but I am not sure what to look at.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
