What bottlenecks??? My network has bottlenecks everywhere. IT says that they are there by design. 
Thanks for the links I will look through them and see if it helps.
Tomaz, Thanks for the links. I made as many of the changes as I could. But, it did not change the connection speed.
It still takes a minute or 2 for a 3 part assembly to show up in the Pro/E Browser window.
Here is a screenshot of the assembly. It is actually 1 part and a fastener repeated.
It took approximately 40 seconds to bring this flat bezel part up in the browser window. Of coarse Pro/E is frozen during this time, so all you can do is sit there and wait.
Once they have been loaded to the browser you can switch back and forth between them instantly. This includes the individual parts of the assembly. But, the next time you open Pro/E you have the extremely long waits. For example it took that first bracket assembly 45 seconds to come up in Pro/E after I double clicked on it in the browser. After it has been opened once you can close it and open it again as if it were in Intralink3.4. It opens instantly. All my slowness has to do when Pro/E communicates to the server.
Does anyone know of network configurations I can do to try and speed up our network?
Thanks
In contrast it took 6 minutes to load our Ultrasound cart assembly in WF5 and ProductPoint.
In Intralink3.4 to check out the top assembly it has 1028 parts it checked out. It took 3 minutes 50 seconds to checkout, launch Pro/E WF4 and load the assembly. Most of that time was of course in the check out process. But, Intralink was checking out all the parts referenced, while ProductPoint was only getting the stuff it needed to load into memory.
I think it is sweet that the next time you open the assembly with PP it is super fast. But, is there anyway to cut that initial load in half at least? I have a gigabit network connection on this machine.
