Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hello Jim,

Thank you for kind update.

If the issue persists after you perform all steps in my previous reply,
please try to following the KB to reset TCP/IP on SBS and XP clients:

How to reset "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317518

How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299357

If the issue persists, please kindly help me collect some information for
further investigation:

1. Does the slow issue happen when every client access SBS?

2. How about transfer large files between client and client, is it slow too?

3. How many NIC are installed on the SBS server?

4. Use the Networking MPS report to capture the SBS for further analysis:
a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe on the server box.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Terrance:
|
| Thank you for your response. I have been totally frustrated over this
issue
| since Service Pack 2 was installed bak in May. ISA is not installed. I
am
| convinced it is something to do with policy and/or registry settings as
| things changed immediately after SP2 was installed. SP2 had issues so I
had
| help from MS support and we spent 32 hours over 1 week, 12 of which it
took
| just to get SP2 installed after the initial failure. The rest was spent
| investigating the slow network. A new NIC was installed (per their
| suggestion), all offloading was disabled, RSS, TCPA, etc. SMB sounds
like a
| real possibility.
|
| Dare I even mention the fact that one of their main programs, ACT 6.0 now
| fails completely after the SP2 update? We have 2 machines that can still
| run the program connecting to the database on the server. They were
| upgraded from W2K to XP Pro. All other machines were initially loaded
with
| XP Pro and now they fail to run the program after SP2.
|
| The important issue is to get the server working properly first without
| rebuilding it if at all possible.
|
| I will try the suggestion you made this evening and let you know how they
| work.
|
| I hit the SBS weblog and tried their stuff. Your response has been the
most
| reasoned so far and you seem to grasp the idea that this is not suddenly
a
| hardware issue.
