Re: SBS 2003 (no SP) - file saving over network suddenly very slow



Hi Fisheye,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup! Also thanks for Russ' input.

For your description, I understand that the speed to save or access network
resources turn to be slow in SBS 2003 environment. If I am off base, please
don't hesitate to let me know.

I have researched the issue and can not find known issue to the behavior.
To trouble shoot the issue, please help me collect some information to
isolate the issue:

1. Have you installed any third-party firewall or anti-virus programs on
the SBS server box? Such as McAfee, Zone Alarm, Norton programs including
Norton Internet Security, Norton System Works, and Norton Anti-Virus etc.
Please disable or temporarily uninstall them to see if it helps.

2. Does the issue happen on all client workstations including the SBS
server box? And does the issue happen only when try to access shared
resources locate on the server box? How about users access internet or
build-in web sites (the Companyweb site, RWW site)?

3. Have your find any related error event in the Event Viewer? If yes,
please the detail information in the newsgroup.

Also I would like to suggest you check the following settings:

I. Please check DNS and Gateway settings. Please ensure the following
settings:

1. Leave the Default Gateway of the internal NIC blank of the server box.

2. Configure the internal client computer's NIC and the internal NIC of the
server box to use the internal DNS Service (the internal NIC IP) as the DNS
Server. And there is only the DNS server be configured on client computers.

II Please ensure proper binding order of the network adapter cards. The
internal network card should be at the top. The detail steps:

1. Right-click the My Network Place and click Properties to open Network
Connections page.
2. Click Advanced in the menu and click Advanced Settings in dropdown list.
3. Under the Adapters and Bindings tab page put the internal Nic at the top
in Advanced Settings page.

After check above settings and verified them.

III. Please try to Re-run CEICW to refresh network connection
configuration. And then try to test to see if the issue be fixed.

It is recommended you refer to the following KB article to get detail steps
to configure network connection:

825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763

How about the result?

If it is not the situation, please perform a clean boot on the server box
to test the issue.

A Clean Boot will allow us to isolate any device drivers or programs that
are loading at startup that may be causing a conflict with other device
drivers or programs that are installed in your computer.

1. Run MSCONFIG.EXE.
2. In the Services tab, click "Hide All Microsoft Services" and click
"Disable All".
3. In the Startup tab, click "Disable All". Click OK. (This will
temporarily prevent third-party programs from running automatically during
start-up.)
4. Restart the computer and check whether the problem still persists.

If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to
one application or service we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool
again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit.

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be assistance of you and look
forward to your reply!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu
