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 N.Maarse Saint-Gobain Abrasives
