MSDE 2000 problems with linked server

I have set up several servers with MSDE 2000 sp4, have created tables in
these databases, can access, read, write data to the database through win sql
and asp. I have set up a linked server to an oracle database and created a
linkedsrvlogin. I can select data from my oracle database throught SQL using
the linked server. All of my servers are working fine except one. Onne
particular server is taking an extrememly long time to retrive certain data.
For example, I have one server that can get 31000 rows from my linked server
in 14 seconds, using anohter server, it takes almost 3 mins to get back 773
rows from the same table.
Any ideas? Its driving me crazy!!!
Hi Lloyd
Have you tried adding a host file entry to the oracle server on the machine
which is slower than the others, it's a stab in the dark but your one machine
could be talking longer to resolve the name of the oracle db.
