Networking help. I have 2 jobs. At both jobs we have a network server environment. Heres the senerio. Job #1 The server is a 486/33 24 ram /win 95. It serves pagemaker, M$ Word, and pcx files. It is also our print server. The 3 clients are 486/60 - 486/100 we are on a coax daisy chain. Usually only one person is connected to the server at a time Job #2 The server is a 7300/200 48 meg OS8. We dont have appleshare IP 5.0 just the SW that comes with OS8 It serves pagemaker, M$ Word, and tiff files. It is NOT set up as a print server. The 3 clients are 7300/200 48 meg. We are on a appletalk 10baseT network. Usually only one person is connected to the server at a time We leave all the files on the server and work on them from our client machines at both jobs. The problem is that the apple server SUCKS!!! It is super SLOW!!! The win 95 server at job #1 blows this apple server away!!! I don't know what to do... i almost feel like we should buy a cheap NT box to serve files. Would it be faster if we used TPC/IP instead of appletalk? How do i set that up? I couldn't find any info about at apple.com or anywhere else on the web. Please any suggestions would be appreciate it =) Jamie hatedyouth@earthlink.net

I presume you're using personal file sharing, which isn't really designed for that purpose. As a cheap solution, I suppose you could try NetDoubler, which apparently should improve network performance. I think a demo is available. Other than that, do the usual things like checking your Ethernet connectors and make sure you're running the latest version of OT.

AppleShare *is* slow. It's designed only for low-volume use, passing the occasional file between Macs on the network. If you want a proper file-server, you need to use proper file-server software. Others here can probably advise on recommended apps.
