Re: Slow connection with new server

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I reinstalled the driver. I changed the speed to auto negotiate 1000 gbs.
That had no effect.

I changed the cable from the punchdown block to the server. - That had no
effect.

I ran netstat -e several times.

Each time I got similar results:

Bytes: 1038075 Received / 989775 sent
Unicast Packets: 3075 / 3437
Non-unicast Packets: 107 / 36
Discards: 0 / 0
Errors: 0 / 0
Unknown Protocols: 4

I don't think that is a problem.

Also check that the network card and switch are both auto or both forced in
speed and duplex

You may also check for errors (damaged cable...):
netstat -e

Thank you Mathieu. I think it was after I added SP2 that I recognized the
problem.

It is a new Gateway server. I am using the on-board GB NIC. I will check
on the NIC driver to make sure they are up to date.

Hello,

Service pack 2 add many things on the network core. Do you have the
latest
drivers ? Is it a Dell with Broadcom network card?

I am preparing a new server to replace our 5 year old server running
Wndows
Server 2003 - Enterprise edition. That server has been upgraded
through
several versions of servers probably back to an early version of NT. As
a
result, it retains the old directory structure.

We only have 20 workstations that are served by the server. It handles
everthing for us including file sharing, web site, FTP, Exchange Server
2003,
enterprise virus protection, and probably a few more tasks. It is
obviously
the PDC. This 5 year old server is running great and has had no
problems.

Because of its age, we are replacing it with a new server, and are
planning
the same configuration with new equipment. This time, I decided to
create
the new server from scratch. This will correct the directory structure
to
the current default structure for Server 2003.

I installed Server 2003 on the new server including SP 1 and SP2.
Somewhere
in adding the updates, I found that access to the new server became
very
slow. It is not slow from the server to the workstation - only from
the
workstation to the server. Anything I do from a workstation, such as
checking Event Viewer, initiating a Remote Desktop Connection, or
accessing a
drive share takes a very long time.

I have added AD and DNS to the second server with no affect. I receive
no
error messages on either server. I suspect the problem has something
to
do
with security or DNS, but I am not getting an error messages. WINS,
AD,
and
DNS replication appear to be working without errors.


The original server continues to work fine - with no problems.

Any idea of what the problem could be on the new server?

Thanks
