Hi Shaun!

Can you tell if your Macs are connecting via Appletalk or TCP/IP? TCP/IP
should be much faster.

You can force a TCP/IP connection by opening the Chooser, selecting the
AppleShare icon, clicking the IP Address button and entering either an
IP address or server name. If this fails, then you're Macs are probably
connecting via AppleTalk and you'll need to troubleshoot your IP problem.

To quickly check the method your Macs are using, mount a server volume
on the Mac, select it and choose File --> Get Info. It will tell you you
either have an Appletalk or TCP/IP connection.

Hope this helps! bill
