This is not your problem, unless your CD is slow too.

v1.7.1 is the most recent. Dani is the only source I know of for the Dani
drivers. What you need to do is read Dani's docs and send her a proper
problem report in the form she specifies. This is your best options for
obtaining a driver that works the the hardware you decided to purchase.

You might experiment with the performance tuning switches, although these
are mostly useful for getting older hardware to work correctly.

These require a lot of disk access.

This requires mostly CD access.

Did I miss someone? Did you neglect to install TCP/IP during the initial
install?

Something is still broken. :-) You haven't provided enough information
for me to guess any better than that. If you really reinstalled TCP/IP,
you might have damaged a perfectly good initial installation. I'll wait
for clarification before saying more.

If you want to send me the standard stuff I always request for network
troubleshooting, I'll take a look at it.

Well, I doubt to anyone you could get access to at Dell knows anything
about eCS/Warp. This is not to say that these folks don't exist, but I'm
sure they are allocated to corporate customers that happen to still use
OS/2.
