Re: Getting ridicilous ping times on Win2003 R2



Hi,
I've seen this happening on AMD Opteron servers before I installed the AMD
driver for windows 2003. The driver corrected the clock-timer issues that
resulted in the same strange behavour.
You say you have Dual Core Intels so no match there, but maybe you need to
install the latest drivers and firmware on your server too. Check the HAL.

hope this helps.

I doubt that it's cable or port related. I switched cables already and I
connected NIC to 100 Mb switch and still the same issue. Moreover I connected
another NIC on the same box (100 BaseT NIC) and still seeing the same issue.
Also those huge pings are not actually affecting network perfomance so I
ping will have 1 ms round trip time and exactly next one will 1259353 ms
round trip which is impossible since it's 340+ hours.
I'm pretty sure it's either OS or driver for NIC but both are at latest
version, I also run Intel tests on cable, port, NIC itself and all came back
clean but this anomaly with ping still continues.

I had very similar problem just after I installed and config'd my backup DC,
The only conclusion that I got to was the server was replicating and that
what was causing the stupidly slow ping times!

Other than that could there be a problem with your switch such as a dodgy port

Perfomance of NIC is fine, average network bandwidth used for file copy is
around 10 MBps

Hello,I'm getting ridicilous ping times when pinging server on local

What can be the reason for this? All latest drivers and patches are
installed.

It could be your cables or switches. Is your LAN tested for TIA/EIA
standards? If it is, try to change patch-cords and show us a tracert to your
local server.

BTW, do you mesured NIC's performance on your server?
