Kde2/cygwin awfully slow on Windows XP

[Dan Friedemann]

Hi all

I have a similar problem (which occured after my employer switched my PC
from
pure W2K to W2k/Novell).  It seems that the machine searches the network
within
Cygwin.  The problem improves significantly if I pull the ethernet plug and
comes back
when connected via modem.  I had no problems prior to the installation of
the Novell client.

So this is an interesten thread for me to follow.
