I would look at the settings for network proxies and make sure they're
correct on the client machines. Same with DNS server settings. Maybe it
takes five seconds just to connect to the server?

Thanks for the suggestion John, unfortunately I checked the settings and
they are all the same :(
FYI - opening a website on the same server as the webservice is fast from
the client machine
Any other suggestions welcome!

I fixed it!! Turns out that in the webservice where we log activity, there
was a DNS lookup call. That call ran v fast for the dev machine, but takes a
long time for clients (and eventually fails)... I removed the lookup now the
webservice is VERY fast.
