The server is a PowerMac 9600 with a 100 MBits ethernet-card, the clients are two G4 AGPs (350 and 400 Mhz), all connected through a switch. Copying files is slow, much slower than when the clients too ran OS9.
Instead of connecting to the server through the Network pane in Finder windows, I tried the Connect to... from Finders Go-menu. There you have to type in the servers IP-adress, thus avoiding using the AppleTalk protocol I believe (you also have to turn on TCP/IP file sharing on the server). This bumps up the speed somewhat, but it is still much slower than an all OS9 setup, and the server has to have a fixed IP-number.
Is there any way around this, except getting an OSX-server? As I understabnd it, the old PM 9600 could run OSX 10.1. Would that make a faster server?
