What's your hardware? Check the 'maxmsgsize' registry parameter on the client. (Check the spelling on maxmsgsize, it could be wrong.)

Has anybody found anything regarding a work around or a patch? It is so slow, the company wants to put win2k server in its place! The data copys to the server at lightning speed, it just copys back at one tenth the speed! a 35 meg file takes close to an hour after it copied there in about 20 secs. Note: I also noticed this does not happen at my other network that has a win2k PDC Any help is greatly appreciated, Seth -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Try doing the same copys with ftp between exactly the same machines, and see if the performance is as bad. If it's far faster one way with 35mb files, you have a mismatch between the ethernet card and it's hub on at least one link between the machines. Alternatively, you have a broken card or driver (3com, usually!) --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
