Running FM pro 5.5 & Win2K file & Print: same box?

[ebot]

Hi, I've recently started a copy of Server 5.5 on what I thought was a Grunty 2 month old Dell Poweredge server running Win2k server.

The server is also running file & print services for 14 users, and since launching FM 5.5 users have been finding file copying etc much slower than normal, and word freezes when they try to save opened docs back to the server.

the copying isn't a big issue, but the MS Word saving/freezing is a disaster. I was under the impression that FM server plays nice with other win2k services (unlike Fm server and Appleshare IP)

Appreciate any suggestions / advice.

Cheers,

Tobes.

Are you using dedicated drives/controllers for the FM server and file server?

Ah, not sure (but assume so) - I installed FM Server 5.5 from my server CD - someone else installed the Win2K file & print server. How can I tell if it isn't dedicated? (assuming dedicated is a good thing)

Ah, it turns out the problem was with a switch that was reconfigured to half duplex without my knowledge.
