That's actually very slow. Can you try a test with NAStester? http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance

StephenB, thank you once again for responding to my request. I stayed up a bit last night to do some troubleshooting of the issue and I started to notice that it was not just network shares that were slow to pull up documents, but also ones I had on my desktop. I redirect folders on my desktop to the NAS instead of having all the files and folders stored locally, I like to keep them on the NAS for safe keeping. When I first setup the box, it grabbed a DHCP address and I had configured the redirects with that address. This was causing the slowness when opening files, so I believe I have resolved my issue.
Thank you!
I'm glad you resolved it :smileyhappy:
