I have a small network of a WinXP deskpc, a winME laptop and a Mac. Each pc has Zonelabs firewall and Norton anti-virus. Each computer and the network printer has a static IP address in the range 192.168.0.xx
All file sharing etc works fine as does printing from winME and Mac. However, the WinXP Pro machine takes a long time to start printing to the network printer i.e. it even holds the application dialog box for a while after pressing print. Also just trying to access the printer properties from control panel takes ages.
Printing from WinMe or from the Mac happens immediately.
I have tried disabling the firewall and anti-virus but the problem still exists.
Elsewhere I have read that WinXP uses full domain name resolution and that supplying an LMHOSTS file would help......
Any ideas please
