>Does anyone have a thought or solutions? Thanks.... I have had the same problem in the past. what was causeing the slowdown was two things. 1. jaguar is slow. when we upgraded to panther a lot of our beach ball and drooped connections fixed it's self. 2. we have about 40 ibooks connecting to out server and we found that they are the ones that are slowing down out server. we had to do alot of load balancing on our airports to resolve a lot of this. If you email me off list i can give you specifics. -- From Aranzazu This message has been scanned for virus detection by the Union City School's email system.
