>I have my developer files (project, classes, etc) on the Novell mapped drive of L. When I build an exe say to my C drive for testing. The project builds it in a rapid fashion (30-45 seconds). Placing the new exe on my C drive in very little time at all, the exe size is 14MB. Now when I decide to build an exe to the Novell Network K drive (where users operate), the build will take approx 2 to 3 minutes to build.

This sounds reasonable given the 30-45 second build on C drive. I build 2meg exe that take from 15+ seconds to build on a Netware drive. Do you have "Rebuild all" unchecked? This will make things much much faster.
