Much worse. The server is fine when doing all other network related tasks.

Have you tried setting the server and the ports to Auto and see how they perform?

The problem is not with Mac machines. The problems is with any machine that connects to the Win 2000 servers that are holding the files. Sorry If I was unclear.

Macintosh has an updated Ethernet driver. Also make sure that you don't have to ports specifying the speed and duplex. I had this similar problem and had to change the ports for the Macs back to auto negotiate. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Staines [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 9:47 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Files opening s l o w l y.... OK, Here's a good one. Last weekend My company installed a Cisco 6500 series switch. (big monster machine, huge back plane, lots of ports) Ever since we did this we have had a problem opening files in applications off of the server. When a user tries to open a file IN an application (mostly word and excel) that is saved on a server, it takes forever to open. If I transfer the file from the server to the local machine, it opens up just fine in a few seconds. I looked and found all the servers having this problem, were running AppleTalk and Mac services. Cisco suggested turning off Spanning tree Protocol which I did. but to no avail. so I took a look with a sniffer. When I did a file transfer, the sniffer reported back that the right amount of data was being transferred (If I moved a file of 7 meg the sniffer showed a little more then 7 meg of data was transferred between my machine and the server). When I opened the same file from excel, but off of the server and not my local machine, the sniffer showed over 35 MEG of data was transferred! I am at loss, I cant figure where this data came from, and where it is going. I am more of an old school tech and don't have a lot of experience with theses switches. Any ideas, suggestions, comments are welcome/needed.
