I have a Dell 1.7gig Windows 2000 server. A client with the same spec but using windows 2000 professional. The two machines are connected via 10/100 HP switch. All network connection seems ok. I created a mapped drive so the application that I am using on the client can access the data on the server. I started the network monitor on the server while running the application on the client. The % network utilization is hardly increasing. The application is still running, but it is VERY VERY SLOW accessing the data. Is it possible to increase the network utilization?
