Since you are using a peer-to-peer Win 95/98 configuration, try the following:

1) On the computer with TRADATA, go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-System.

2) Go to the Performance tab and select File System.

3) Use the Typical Role pull-down and pick Network Server.

4) Click OK all the way out and restart each workstation and see if it works faster.

If you have somebody working on the "server" it will usually slow it down. The above fix will help speed it up but it won't be as fast as a dedicated "server" in a server/client configuration.
