Does removing one computer at a time to see which one

Thanks for responding.

We only have the two connected, but the one we use as the server seems to be
the one causing the slowdown. The reason I say this is when we reboot the
client it doesn't make a difference, but when we reboot the server then it
works OK for a while, then starts to slow way down again.
