I am searching for ideas to diagnose slow network speeds. The server is

an Intel CA810E mobo, P3-1000Mhz, 512MB Ram (maximum for mobo). I

replaced the old HDD's with new Seagate 37GB SCSI with Adaptec 29320A

controller. At the same time I replaced NT 4 with Windows SBS 2003. This

is in a dentist office with 10 workstations. I used timethis.exe to test

file transfers, between 2 workstations it was fairly fast, but from the

server to a workstation it takes about 4 times longer. They are using

SoftDent software, plus others related to the dental industry. I have

uninstalled antivirus, set permissions, etc. to no avail. Also disabled

LMHosts lookup for the NIC. Disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP kills the

connection, that may be what I need to chase down why.

OK, does anyone have any experience similar to this, will gigabit NICs,

router, help me? Or anything else to try?
