I set up an NT server to run as a BDC (PDC across WAN) and any file 
copying/downloading is painfully slow (5MB/5 min) both to and from other 
machines in LAN and over internet. Can sync with PDC quickly.

Network is cat5, unmanaged 10/100 switches. NIC is 3Com 10/100 (3c905b-tx), is 
set at 100BaseTx and Full Duplex (switch shows connection is at that speed), 
static IP.

Running the usual services including AppleTalk, no DHCP. Tried using different 
ip address, different switch placement, switched to all new cables. Next is to 
replace NIC (after lengthy purchasing procedure at our comapny).

I'm no NT guru, but I've got  a few years exper without problems like this. Any 
help greatly appreciated. What am I missing?
