Re: possible routing issue?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Not sure what a "2wire DSL router" is, but assuming all machines are
directly or through a switch connected to the router:

1. All machines including the DC should point only to the DC's IP for DNS.

2. All machines should use the router's LAN IP as a default gateway.

3. On the DC open the DNS management console; right click the server and
select Properties. Click the Forwarders tab; check the box to enable
forwarders; add the IP address of your ISP's DNS server.

I've set up an new network with 20 XP client machines and one Windows
2003 server standard edition with AD. On the server I installed DNS,
and DHCP. I also have a 2wire DSL router for internet access.

On the client machines if I add a gateway pointing to the DSL router or

the server then any application access or network access takes around
30 seconds before
something happens. If I take out the gateway then everyhting run at
top speed, but the end users do not have internet access. Is this a
possible routing issue or something else?


Each machine is running CA antivirus scanner.


Some things I've tried..
1. Made the router the DHCP server and stopped it on the MS server.
Did not make a difference
2. Added the MS server and the router IP address as the primary and
secondary DNS servers.
3. Took out the gateway and added a static route on each machine.


These were all set back like they were as they on had the same result.


Thanks
