Is any other network traffic slow from/to that machine?
I had a box that ran just fine for years. Then suddenly, slow.
I upgraded my hub from a dumb 10mb to a smart 100mb. The effect was the hub
shut down the communications to that machine because the nic was chattering.
In effect the nic was bad, even though it appeared to work.
Good Luck!!!

Subject: [sambar] More Musings on dbms and Novell {01}
First, I would like to thank everyone for all the neat leads and good
discussion on using Novell drives. But I may be missing the point or I was
not clear. Let me reiterate.
Other than the drop in dbms performance, nothing has changed with how the
Sambar box accesses a remote Novell drive. Remember, it is not a question
of access or authentication, because it did work, and work very well. So
the question comes down to performance. Maybe the following "illustration"
would help.
This worked initially worked, and for several years, very fast but
performance suddenly dropped dramatically:
Sambar -> ODBCcache -> ODBCsystem data source -> Novell drive
To regain lightning fast performance I have re-configured to this:
Sambar -> ODBCcache - ODBCsystem data source -> local drive
The difference being that all database tables are now on the same box as
Sambar. Initially, everything worked with the ODBC system data source
configured to map to a remote Novell drive, and it worked lighting fast.
