Well the customers IT department is saying 'told you so' :(
And PERSONALLY *I* am convinced that this is a problem with THEIR router, but
since the Linux box and the Windows box are on the same hub ..... I may have
to drive back up and drop in my own hub?

I don't think this has anything to do with the Linux setup - which for the
record is the Mandriva 2007.1 with the Firebird and Flamerobin from the
contributed packages. The 'copy' here is only showing the slightly slower
response between windows and linux servers, but working fine!

The problem I have is where do I learn about these sorts of problems.
Accessing Firebird on the Windows box on this site is fine - accessing the
Linux box is simply very slow :(
