slow server.

any special tweaking i need to do to my W2k server to speed things up.
my home network is very simple - 6 port hub, one 1.8 gb server with gig of
RAM, on e XP pro workstation, one 2k, and one Me workstation. also DSL
modem on hub.
the XP machine performs any sort of data access very slowly when linked to
either SQL or another MDB on the network. the other boxes run faster.
also, DSL communication is very much slowed down for the other PCs when the
server is on.
any clues?
thanks,

Put the nic of the XP on anything but autosense.
What does a IPCONFIG /All look like?

DNS should point to your server-IP.
How many nics in the server? The DNS on the nic(s) should point to your
server-IP. The ISP-DNS-numbers should be set in the forwarders of your
DNS-server.

ala how?
i am not a server expert nor want to be.
i use my server for web and sql development.
if you know how to change these settings please tell me how.
i have only one NIC per PC including the server.
my DNS server is my ISP.
i can not use internet without the DSN IPs specified on each PC.
