Re: DSL Speed behaviour on new SBS 2003/SBS 2000

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

yes, it is a 2 nic setup and the test is from the server connected to
the DSL Router/Modem...the test involves going to our ISP test page
(stats.xmission.com/speedtest) -- the test is pretty accurate because
it is right to the ISP/DSL provider servers which (i believe) is one
hop from here...

Plugging into the server directly give me the slower speed - plugging
into the laptop directly gives me the faster speed...
