using a linksys router, the connection works great EXCEPT for one aspect of the program and the indiviual pages that that component loads are instantly accessible, just not as a whole, i guess maybe i am not clear so will try once more.

the program loads templates to do a realestae apprasial, "contents" will load all the forms of a completed appraisal, but it take awhile on the client, though if they use "jump to form" they can access any individual component in seconds,

so the network stuff appears to work fine and as far as accessing folders and that there are no problems, this component loads fast when i load in safe mode with networking, the other aspects of the program work good all the time

is that clearer?? if not i will do screenshots when i go in thursday and thanks for your prompt suggestions, i realize the info i am giving lacks some clarity and was hoping for something like "disable qos packet scheduler" (which i tried) but will keep on plugging away
thank you again
