I thing it happened after I installed IPX protocol... My WinXP browses the network very fast, I can see shared folders also, but when I'm trying to enter any shared folder the explorer hangs and not responds about 10 - 15 minutes... I removed the installed IPX protocol, also I tried to update network card drivers, but it not helped me... Maybe anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thanks!

It can bee that your network places are remembered in explorer. Go through "Entire Netork" and find your network computers and see if you can reach them proporly. Another problem can be firewall softwares that block network connections. But let you se the former folders.
Hope this where to some help.
