We have a peer to peer network with 4 PCs and 1 Win2000 server.
Everything is working fine except if I run MYOB on the win2000 server and open the company file which sits on 1 of the other pcs, it takes about 15 minutes for the file to come up....From every other PC it is almost instantaneous......

Any suggestions?

You didnt mention the exact setup as far as connectivity. I would check cabling/hub/switch and like componets. The nick in the server may also be flaky. I would plug the server into a different port and test with a different cable(not at the same time though so you can make sure what the iisue is). Try copying the file to a different PC and see if the problem still exists. If so the problem lies either with the server or its network connections. Try these things first to see where the problem actually lies.
