Slow connection to shared folders on a workgroup

[Guest bill]

I have 3 systems on a workgroup. 1 is hosting a shared folder with

roughly 6gb of data in it. Every time I attempt to open any of the sub

folders from the other 2 systems it takes roughly 30 seconds. Is it

possible to make those systems cache that information?

 

Notes: Each system is showing that it's connected at 100mbps, and all

are using XP Home SP2 with 2.0Ghz procs or higher with 512 ram. When I

run MS process monitor it shows the system query for each file is

successful.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
