Win2K server Folder properties viewing problem

[mohanr77]

I am a System Administrator currently using a Windows 2000
server which act as a file cum print server. I have installed Win2K Server patched with SP3. the actual problem is whenever i right click and then click on the properties on any of the folder within the server, the properties or either the sharing windows popup is not appearing at all, even though i have waited for a very long time. hmm this really makes me sick, i can even share any others folders for other staff and this is really prolonging.

i do really appreciate if any on of you reply to me soon. take care an have a nice day

Are you guys using ZoneAlarm software on these servers?

I have a windows xp pro and it happens the same to me...

It start happening this to me I think after I installed Norton Interenet Security.

Casually I solve temporally this problem turning on the AUTOMATIC DETECT SETTINGS in the Internet_Options/Connections/LAN_Settings
When I cheched this, all the properties windows I've clicked during my windows session appeared at the same time (it was a mess). For one or two days everything went ok, but now the problem is active again and I don't know how to solve it. Turning on the Auto detect settings doesn't work any more.

Some suggestions??????
