We run Rbase 6.5 dos / 6.5++ Windows and 7.1.80 Windows (as of today) on both a Novel 5.x and Windows 2003 servers. We have no performance problems (although sometimes I think the Novel is faster). Being a hardware guy for the last 25 years, I have found that often problems like these are hardware related. Is the windows server plugging into the same port you are/were using on the switch /hub? Is it a switch? Is the cabling done correctly? (see earlier network problems post ...about a week ago...we beat those topics to death). Machines that act as servers love fast, full duplex NIC's, Fast SCSI drives and lots of memory. Problems or disparity of specs can cause the faster machine / operating system to be slower. Are there other aplications accessing the Windows 2k machine? Make changes one at a time and benchmark performance differences.

I have practically no corruption at any of my clients. One common thread he thought of -- these clients have XP or 2000 workstations connecting to a database on a Windows 98 database server. Anyone have this configuration? BTW the reason it's on Win98, is that when he had the database on W2000 server he said that one user logging in had no problems. As soon as one other person connected the performance degraded significantly. Putting the database on Win98 server put the performance back. So I guess another question would be if there was a fix for that..... thank! Karen
