With no information about the server, accounts, DOMAIN or peer based I can't guess why your new Apple is any different.

Folks,
I'm hoping someone can give me something here. Anything really. I've got a mac here at work, one of ten, and it is struggling with the network to our fileserver. Just to open a folder on the server to view files in Finder, takes about 2 minutes.
I have reformatted the drive and reinstalled from scratch. Everything works fine except for the networking to the fileserver. All of the other macs see the contents of folders on the server in seconds (or less). I have also run the machine through a different network connection to rule that out.
I've checked the network settings and the machine is connected at 1000mbps on "Automatic", the same as all the other macs.
The user is getting frustrated and I have run out of things to try. Any thoughts? Anyone...?
Thanks in advance
