    Hi,

    Brought a new Dell 6400 laptop. Its hanging some times, say I try to run explorer using "window key + E", the explorer comes after one minute or so.

    After the explorer is up, I select C: the view pan refreshes after some time. I feel its not working normally.

    Is this some thing to do with drivers etc...

    The only change, I made was changed the work group name to match with my office work group, so that I can access the shares and browse network.

    Any help/clues to resolve this problem is greatly appreciated.

    Below is the configuration in brief

    Thanks in Adv,
    schalla.
