Slow "Look In" drop-down menus

Our office just purchased some new Win2k workstations... SP2 is installed.
They are also running the lastest Novell client (4.8) with the latest Novell Service
Pack.
The machines are very fast on the network, but there is often a 10 to 20 second pause
whenever you use the "Open File" option from any program. The pause comes when you
drop down the "Look In" list that shows you all of your drive letters and network
options. Finally the list appears, and you can browse mapped network drives without
any slowness or pauses whatsoever.
The pause only seems to happen after you have not used your network drives for awhile.
We have NT 4.0 workstations running the same Novell client without any problems.
It only affects Win2000. It happens on all of our machines....Dell, IBM, etc.
We tried disabling the computer browsing service, and setting IPX as preferred protocol
for the Novell client. I also disabled offline folders. I even disabled realtime
virus protection. Nothing has helped.
Neither Novell nor Microsoft acknowledge this problem, but the Novell client seems
to work fine with NT 4.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean
