Connection between Windows XP & Mac OS X very slow

Hi,

I have a custom server running on a Windows XP SP2, using jre1.6.0_01. When I connect to this server with a client running on another Windows OS, the ServerSocket.accept() method returns successfully & rapidly. However, when the same client is run on a Mac OS X 1.4.9 using jre1.5.0_07, the server takes about 20 seconds to accept the connection, which is an unacceptable period of latency in my production environment. Is it due to a compliance issue between the two vendors of the JRE? Should I install the Sun JRE on the Mac OS X client (if it is possible)? Is there another way to get this to work efficiently?

Here are the system properties of my server:
