Sounds like it could be a networking issue to me.
Perhaps the xp machine is resolving the db server name
more efficiently.
do both the xp machine and the win2k machine
1 have comparable network cards?
2 on the same subnet as each other and the db?
3 using the same dns or wins server?
you could try putting an entry in the hosts file on
the slow machine to resolve the name of the db machine
and see if that helps.
I'm no expert on Postgre SQL so maybe there is a
driver difference or something that others on the list
would know better.
Hope that helps,
Joe
