Success!, but slow.

>it was faster with 5.0

I have found 6.0 to be somewhat slower than 5.x, particularly on older machines with less than 64MB of RAM.

Can you try a backup on the gateway machine to see if that makes any difference?

Other things you could consider:

Perhaps the gateway machine is overworked. If it is doing other things in addition to being the workgroup server, then maybe it is just running out of memory or processing power. You could try running System Monitor (Win9x) or Performance Monitor (NT) to see if the machine is "hitting the wall" in one of these areas.

Maybe the network is the bottleneck. If you have a 10Mbps network, consider upgrading to 100Mbps.
