SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to view resources on a remote computer on the local network, Windows 2000 typically completes the request in 3 to 4 seconds. After you install Services for UNIX (SFU), the same request to view resources on a remote computer may take from 25 to 30 seconds.



CAUSE
The NFS client reads the retry setting from an incorrect registry key; it never uses the change in the retry count setting.
