Autocad keeps freezing when opening a DWG from a networkfolder

Hello!

I have a problem with Autocad keeps freezing when opening a specific DWG from a network hd.
Every other project-related DWG opens fine, but with this specific dwg get stuck when loading and it completly freezes autocad.
I've think I purged everything that is purgable on the drawing and also in the xrefs to. But its the same problem every time.

Any suggestions what to do next?

Thanks.

Fix that one file: here is a long list of methods to do that, PURGE is never the correct tool for that purpose https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/AutoCAD-File-Corruption.html

Are you sure it's a network problem? If you move the file to C:\ will it open?
