Network was originally a peer-to-peer (with a "server" running Win98). Clients use Sage Line 50 and SuperOffice. All was working fine.

Network now has a dedicated Windows 2000 server. All clients can login fine, all the PC names and user names have been created on the server.

I have just ONE pc (running Win95) that runs VERY VERY slowly when accessing network resources.

The cabling and network points have been checked and are OK. The PC is not the fastest in the world (Pentium 1, 100MHz) but WAS working fine when it was accessing resources on the Win 98 "server"

Any suggestions on what could be causing the problem?

use only the TCP/IP protocol and delete any other protocols running, especially Netbeui. This should increase performance.

You could also try reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol and setting it to log on to the windows domain.

By everything checked you mean another PC was put in its place for testing, using the same lan cable and it ran fine? Does it obtain an IP from the server or is it a set IP?

Pinging the server will give you an idea weather it is extremely slow orpossibly being rerouted through the network (<10ms if it is in the same building).

Try a trace route and see if it is set to go to a different server or computer to get redirected to the W2K server.

Have you scanned and defragged the HD lately?
