Slow build with VS.NET 2003

[MINA]

We have a Solution with about 30 VB.NET projects in it.
The build runs fine on most PC's.
We have one notebook, however that the build runs very
slow on. CPU usage is minimal (<5%) and HDD activity is
also very low.
THe build takes about 20-30 seconds on most PC's and about
5-10 minutes on this one.
It seems that there is some sort of timeout heppening.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi, Mina

This type of problem is very difficult to address in the newsgroups due to
all of the possible variables. I would look at the amount of RAM in the
laptop first. Are your projects stored on the laptop, or are they accessed
over the network? Do you have a direct network connection, or are you
using wireless? Does the laptop use a standard interface, or has it been
heavily "customized" by the manufacturer? Does the laptop have the same
patches and service packs installed. What version of dotnet, the OS, etc?

I would generate an MSINFO report on the desktop machine which is most
similar to the laptop (same os,processor, etc) and see how it differs from
the laptop.

Bottom line: your best bet would be to create a standard support incident
and pursue the problem 1:1.

Thank you for choosing the MSDN Managed Newsgroups,

I cannot help, but I did notice something similar when I
am connected to our network. When I disconnect from our
network the build takes the normal amount of time, but
when I reconnect, it becomes incredibly slow again. If
you find out why, let me know.
