Switch your server to Linux ??? Just kidding (sort of)... How big is the file you are loading from the server? A file will always load faster from your own drive than a server's drive. For comparison purposes, I use a 1.2 GHz Celeron Red Hat 7.3 Linux server running Samba (that's the server software that *looks* like an NT server to other machines), and to load a 24MB Protel parts libary from the Linux box onto a Protel 99SE session on my W2K box (dual PIII 1 GHz) takes about 8-10 seconds. It sounds like your project file may be very big.
