Just asking to see if anyone is getting this problem besides me. I've recently been doing some testing with W2K3 and as soon as I installed it, my internet dropped way off. I am running a fractal T1 and when I do a bandwidth check it says that I am getting 1.4. The server internet comes up just fine, but the workstations take about a minute to open up msn.com. Most of the time the page times out. When I put server 2000 back on, everything works just fine. Is there something I am missing?
 
more info needed here to help you further...

Is the 2k3 box running RRAS? how's DNS configured (@server, @ clients)

when you do nslookup what is your default server?

kind regards

I am having this same problem. We setup a test lab on our network to prepare for the conversion to Active Directory. Our test Domain Controllers are W2K3 and are using a forwarder to point to our internal DNS Server. Our internet connections from the computers in the test domain have slowed to a crawl. Some pages take over a minute to load while others don't load at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
