Slow opening a UNC-Path Filename

[Dock...@minimax.de]

Hi,

I'd find only questions, no answers about the annoying delay, opening
a file with an UNC Pathname. I'm using gvim 7.1 under Windows XP.

In some of our remote offices runs a Novell Server. If I'd like to
edit for example the autoexec.ncf file with the UNC Path \\servername
\sys\system\autoexec.ncf, I have to wait about 20 to 30 seconds until
the gvim shows the file. I start the command on the shell with "C:
\Program Files\Vim\vim71\gvim.exe" \\servername\sys\system
\autoexec.ncf. The same delay, if I opens the file with :e or similar.

Using a mapped drive has no delay. ex.(gvim.exe r:\system
\autoexec.ncf)
Invoking the command "type \\servername\sys\system\autoexec.ncf" on
the shell has no delay

I think, there is a Problem with the leading double Backslashes. I
quoted them with "\\\\servername\\sys\\..." but this doesnt work.

Do you have any suggestions for me, how to handle the remote text
scripts on servers by using vim?

thanks a lot.
