HELP. We are a market research firm and out software uses DOS4GW as it's main driving application. Recently we started to notice a large amount of lag on the workstations when processing to the nest question in a survey. At first we went to the software vendor and after a few weeks of testing we ruled out their applicaton. Next we moved on and decided to segment the workstations from the rest of the network via a second switch daisychained together with a cross-over cable. Still had the same issues. After that we thought of bad network cards, bad hubs, and/or bad computers. All tests came back ok leaving only the server as the problem child. Now I have no idea what else to test. I have tried modifing the NIC speed/Duplex settings and each either improves or hinders somewhat but not enough to rule that as the problem. The server, which just houses the files and does no real processing, is fully patched, has more than enough memory and HDD space to handle twice the workload we are giving it now. Anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions I can try next?
