RE: Browsing folder by slow network connection



Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply.

Would you please help me double confirm if you have tried all of my
suggestions and the problem still persists? If so, I recommend you to try
the following:

I suspect the problem may be caused by MTU. Please try to use Ping -f -l to
test it as following:

"ping <computer_name or IP_address> -f -l 1472 " (without the quotation
marks)

- The -f parameter causes the Ping utility to send an ICMP echo packet that
has the IP "do not fragment" bit set.

- The -l parameter sets the buffer, or payload, size of the ICMP echo
packet. You specify this size by typing a number after the -l parameter.

By lowering the -l parameter on successive pings, you can identify how
small an unfragmented packet can travel a specific route. The smallest MTU
that is in general use is 576 bytes, so you can safely start with an ICMP
buffer of 548 and then work up from there. For example, if the command
"Ping <computer_name or IP_address> -f -l 972" (without the quotation
marks) returns packets but "Ping <computer_name or IP_address> -f -l 973"
(without the quotation marks) does not return packets, the largest MTU on
that route is 1,000 (972 plus 28).

For detailed information, please refer to the following KB article:

314825 How to Troubleshoot Black Hole Router Issues
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314825

For Change the Default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), please refer to the
following KB article:

826159 HOW TO: Change the Default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Size
Settings for PPP Connections or for VPN Connections
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=826159

If the problem still occurs, would you please do the following test to
narrow down the problem?

1. Create VPN connection from a LAN client computer and then test if the
problem occurs.
2. Connect a laptop to external network card of SBS and then create VPN to
test if the problem occurs.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Crina Li (MSFT)

| Hi Crina Li,
|
| Thank you for taking time to find a solution
|
| Response to your four question :
| 1. The situation does not occur on the LAN, but the LAN is not as fast as
| habitual. I say that because Outlook, connect to Exchange on the server
| SBS2003, become a little bit slower.
| 2. The message say that he cannot browse the folder. Well I can't take a
| screenshot beacause I restarted the server yesterday.
| 3. The problematic occur on windows2000 and windowsXP with latest service
| pack and update
| 4. The situation occur on all VPN client. When we try to browse large
| folders or event if we want to see our mail in Outlook that is connect to
| exchange on the problematic server, we can't. It's seems that the server
| can't send us large request.
| Eventually, when I restart the server SBS2003, the problem disappear for
| about 2 week.
|
| Thanks you again
