>>We are trying to migrate to using an IP only network using the Netware Client with Windows 2000 machines. But VFP6 is real slow accessing the data this way. The only workaround we've been able to find is to uninstall our VFP app, install the netware client and reinstall our program. Not very palatable for over 130 machines.

Apparently we are using the Novell Client32 because it will support an IP only network, but the MS client won't.

Also, everything works fine if we install the Novell client first and then install our VFP app. But we have about 130 machines that are already running the MS client and we're going to have to switch to the Novell client.
