    hi people,

    we have a dedicated 100mb line to the server, we are testing with two
    cad-stations on the server.
    every cad-station has a dedicated line to the server, for each
    cad-station the server has a network card(3 nics alltogether in
    server, one for connection to company lan).

    but still the network is very slow, saving/working local is the
    fastest but working with files on server goes at 12% of the 100mb
    bandwidth, copying files via explorer goes at about 100%, how come
    solidworks2003 sp3.1 does not use this bandwidth? what can we do about
    it?

    regards,

    p.s please sent me a reply mail

  2. I had simple parts randomly slow to open, and could narrow the problem to
    the "temp" dir full of crap (Take a look at it, could be more than 1000
    files there).
    Solved when I made a batch that deletes everything there on startup. And I
    ask the users to boot at least once a week. Was true with NT, and I did the
    same when changing to W2K.
