Re: Windows XP performance issue

Jasper,
when you clicked on the optimum setting radio button did the numbers change
and if they did did you have TCPO make the changes to the registry.

Joe,

I tried the TCP optimizer and no such luck. I'm still having the same
problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

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?
