What is your connection string? You can specify the "network protocol" explicitly, which somtimes can affect speed.

"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=pubs;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;"

By specifying the IP address, the port number (1433) and the Network Library, you are providing a very granular connection string. Your details may vary of course.

Alot of times, you don't need this. But I've been on a few client trips where this was the magic dust.
