My office has one W2K server in NT4 domain (one NT4 PDC), and we recently
replaced old Win98 by brand-new WinXP Pro PCs. After the replacement, we
noticed it takes XP PCs about 15 - 20 seconds via Windows Explorer to browse
folders/files shared by the W2K server (shared by logon script with net use
command). However, Win98 PCs browse those contents much quicker (about 3
secs). It's very slow when XP users launch Windows Explorer to access network
drives but it becomes normal (ie much quicker) for subsequent access once
Windows Explorer opens. Can anyone please help to resolve this problem?

sounds like name resolution issue. check the DNS and WINS settings.
