Re: Active Directory?/DNS?/RRAS? Causing Major Internet Problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Is the DC also running RRAS? Try to disable RRAS, do you have the same issue?

I'm running a small network, and have run into MAJOR internet problems.

Basically what happens is that the 'save' function of internet explorer has
been stuffed by some part of the AD architecture. What happens is that
machines can open downloads (if they press open when they first click
download), but if they click 'save,' the file transfer window will just
disappear, and one PC even downloads 1 Seconds worth (ie. if the download
speed is 150kb/s, then it will download 150kb and say it is finished).

This is why I think it must be one of these AD technologies:

1. ALL Domain Controlled PC's have this problem
2. Non-Domain PC's DO NOT have this problem.
3. Another Server (2003) was promo'd to Additional Domain Controller and the
old one 'pulled,' with the same result.

Neither of the Domain PC's could download from the internet either.

This is My Internet Topology:

Router controlling NAT and Gateway
DC controlling DNS and DHCP
Clients configured as such through DHCP.

Does anyone know what is causing this - obviously I don't want to have to
kill the Domain and recreate.... Even worse than the server melting down - at
least i'd have backups.
