    Is anyone aware of problems when a server name is reused? This may be
    complicating the problem we are having. See original post link below.
    It's not the license server. It's the server where the data is
    located.

    Basically, AutoCAD hangs for a minute or two when trying to access a
    particular share drive on a server. This server is called SERVER3,
    replacing an old server with the same name. The new server has Windows
    2003. The old one had 2000 server. If we access the share drive from
    Windows Explorer or other applications, it's fine. AutoCAD apps are
    the only ones having the problem. AutoCAD can open other shares on
    other servers okay.

    In my previous post, I thought it might have been a registry problem or
    some autoCAD settings but we tried it on a computer from a different
    office with all different settings than ours and it hung up too.

    Thanks,

    Greg
