Description on problam in depth....

(A) My Customer is having SQL SERVER 2000 machine with Gigabit NIC
(B) All client systems are having 100 mbps NIC and connected thru 100 mbps switch
(C) Some Client machines are having SQL SERVER 2000 Client+Server Components installed. These machines are connecting to Server -"A"
(D) Some Client machines are having SQL SERVER 7 Client+Server Components installed. These machines are also connecting to Server -"A"

B) are you sure the NIC is active at the proper higher speeds? it may be installed, but it can be throttled back.

You have have to trace/benchmark the equipment to see where the delays are occurring? Search here for other message on this....this issue has come up several time in the past few years...not often, but there are some messages on same.

I am sure that all NIC are running at 100 mbps full duplex speed;
Why (C) and (D) should have differant performance on same hardware environment?

Is the issue only while connecting or also when running queries?

Specially when Scrolling Cursors;
(Borland Database Engine TTable Objects)
One More observation...
If I Put one Gigabit Swithch between Server and Existing Switch; All clients works at high speed...
(1) Server_GigabitNIC <---> 100mbps Switch<---->all_clients

is slow
(2) Server_GigabitNIC<--->Gigabit Swithch(no-client with this switch)<---->100mbps(exisiting)Switch<---->all_clients
is fast
