Slow Internet

[dljohnson19]

I have a 2000 Server with SP4 that the internet is extremely slow on. Half the time the sites I hit gets 'page cannot be displayed' errors. You hit refresh and it pops up fine. This machine is newly formatted and doesn't have a lot on it yet. Resources are abundant, plenty of RAM and disk space and all else appears to run fine. Ideas?

I have the same problem but my server some times loses its connection to the web all together. I am using 2 NICS one for WAN and one for LAN. Only the WAN card has a Gateway assigned to it. Is this the same sort of problem??

are you using a proxy server for your internet ????

It's the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.

No, not using a proxy server.

How are the rest of your machines on the network? Running just as slow? If so, you might want to check out your infrastructure components (firewall, router, csu/dsu/modem, etc..)....it could be a problem there.

Found it. Incorrect DNS setting. Although the one I had worked (intermittingly) the new one I was just informed about works MUCH better. Thanks.
