Re: Windows XP performance issue

Have you checked your TCP/IP registry setting on the XP?
I use TCPoptimizer:

Shenan,

Ok, this is what happens when I run some test.


I tested file download from 2 different servers.

From the windows XP computer:
On the first Windows 2003 server, the download was bad, the upload
was good. This is the original server I tested from.
On the second Windows 2003 server, the download and upload were both
good.

From a Windows 2000 computer.
Both download and upload times were good on both the windows 2000 and
2003 server.

Now here's the thing, these test were run from computers that are 2
switches away from the server. Meaning, the server is plugged into
one switch. That switch is plugged into another switch that has the
computers plugged into it.

However, if I try this same type of test from a computer plugged into
the the same switch the server is plugged into, I have no problems
with either windows 2000 or XP computer.


If this is a switch problem, how come the Windows XP computer reacts
differently than the Windows 2000 computer.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Jasper

This was a clean install. I'll check on the updated drivers but I
think they are the latest and greatest. I'm noticing this on more
than one type of computer. I have other machines that have
different hardware but are experiencing the same problem. This all
happened when we installed Windows XP.

Any other suggestions?

Repeating what you have given... (For my sake - not yours really.
hah)

You had machines working under Windows 2000. You 'upgraded' (which
turns out to mean you formatted and installed Windows XP) to Windows
XP on this older hardware. At that point your downstream speed from
your server (unknown OS) is slow, upload seems normal (to said
unknown server.) Everything worked as you thought it should prior to
'upgrade' of the workstation(s)...

I think it is time to eliminate the server from the equation. Put up
another Windows XP machine - share a directory ad place files in it
and try your tests from one of the workstations with the speed issue
(with the server) against the Windows XP shared directory. Same
results or does the upload/download speed act as you would hope it
would when the connection is with another Windows XP machine?

Also - what OS is said server running?
