Shared Network disk connections

Hi,
I installed webexplorer on a Win 2000 Server w IIS 5.0 machine. The document directory (wexroot) is a virtual directory set in IIS referring to a shared network directory (\\serverXXX\Documents) on another win 2000 server.

I found that:

1) If I upload any file, the uploading is very low (< 1k/s) and also the visualization of the web pages (with the list of directories and files) in low.

2) If I make the virtual directory point to a directory located on the same web server (i.e. C:\Documents), the speed is very high (1.5 Mb in about 4 seconds, also for the visualization of directories and files).

The network is a 100Mbit LAN without any network problem (high traffic, jamming etc.).

Unfortunatly I can't use local directories, only shared network directories.

Do you have any idea?

Hi,
You may try to install WebExplorer on the server that your document folder resides actually and then create a virtual folder on your web server to point it. The speed may improve if WebExplorer and the files are on the same server.
