Have you tree view activated? If yes, try without tree view.

YES!
Accessing the network shares are lightning fast with the tree view disabled.

In the last beta I have made changes in the tree view. I hope it makes the tree view a bit faster.

So, i just thought, i try it again with the latest version (2008.06)

If i have the treeview ON, and i 'sit' on a local drive and switch to a UNC path share, then it takes some time to see it. But it is not as slow as it once was.
But the strange thing is that if i already see a UNC path with the tree view, and want to switch to another UNC path, it is lightning fast.
And by switching from local to UNC path, the treeview is (still) populated with the names of the pc's in the direct environment (domain name or workgroupname), but looks as if this happens with NETBIOS (over TCPIP maybe). I only see 1 or 2 other pc's on the same switch, but none of the others that are behind another switch.
Looks like a Netbios lookup from Windows. And after looking for it once, it has it in cache and stays lightning fast afterwords.

But i disable the treeview again on the right panes, and keep it on on the left side, that still works 8)

try this, for me helps:

go to seetings and under view settings unmark show (tooltip), then restart freecomander.

After that browsing through network should be much faster.

I already had that disabled :D
No it really is looking at netbios level for other computers and shares in the Treeview.
This is (i think) at the netbios level, since i only can see the pc's that are on the same subnet and not behind another router.

But i try the new one, maybe that is better.

I've tried all the suggestions, but accessing network locations, switching between folders on network locations, and selecting files on network locations is still painfully slow, and far slower in FC than when using explorer!

I certainly appreciate your hard work, Marek ... I hope you can spend a little time looking at this problem :-).

My access to network drives was unbearably slow. But I switched off 'Show files tooltip' (Settings -> View) and now its much better.
