>I'm setting up FoxPro file sharing, but have noticed some performance issues I'm hoping someone can shed some insight on. We have a peer to peer network using Windows 95 file sharing. I have one PC as a dedicated server that has all database files and our application. It has the processing power of a Pentium-75, 16 MB RAM, and a 500 MB hard disk. The local (client PC's) each have FoxPro 2.6 for Windows and a Config.fpw file that points to the mapped network drive, sets tmpfiles to the local drive and sets the resource file to the local drive as recommended in the Developers Guide. The local PC's are 133MHz Pentiums.

Your server is kind of under powered. But I think it is more your network. Make sure your network is setup correctly? Are you using 10/2 or 10/T connections?
