if I double click a network share
e.g. "My Network Places" dirblah on GREYCOMP
and GREYCOMP is off.
It takes ages to realise it.. The window even crashes with a "not
responding"..
(same if I have a mapped drive to the network share and double click
that)
And if I double click it again, it does the same s-l-o-w- response
again, not just a slow response, but windows looks unhealthy at the
time. I can't click .any icon within the "My Network Places" after I
have clicked a share where the remote computer where the share is, is
off. (it is acting as if there is great cpu or ram utilization,
though I don't think there is, but it's not a nice symptom).
Is there a way to make it timeout quicker ?
Yes, it should fail and give an error, but quicker. And pref without
the bad behaviour.
