Hello everyone, Alright, I deployed Server 2003 at this address several
weeks ago. Ever since I added the router/server to the network the internet
conection to
the internet is lagging in response compaired to the non-server set-up
previously. I have used 3 10/100 NIC's on the server 1 to the Internet
connection and 2 to the network switch. All have cat 5e cables. The server
has a 1200MHz
cpu and 512 Mb ram so I think the routing should be quick enough. I am
running only DHCP,DNS, Routing/remote access and Active directory roles on
this machine. I think these should all run together without problems. I can
not seem to find any assistance in the standard help files regarding this.
Could it be a DNS issue? I am feeling lost on this one. Here is the
ipconfig from the server. I hope this gives some information.
The first adapter is DHCP assigned from the ISP. The second adapter is
static as 192.168.0.1 and is the DHCP and DNS adapter The third
adapter was added because we thought we had a backlog to the server from the
switch. It is DHCP assigned from the server itself. The default gateway of
127.0.0.1 was setup by the "DNS wizard" in Server 2003, so I didn't mess
with it.

Thanks again for the assistance,

Any sugestions?
 
1. Is the Intrernet slow on the server itself? If so, you may want to try
optimizing the connection - see, eg:

2. You should only have one LAN NIC and it should have no default gateway
configured.

Thanks Doug,
I checked the connection at the server and it also seems slow. I ran the
tests from pcpitstop.com and my bandwith came in at 43Kbps. The pings were
all >=100ms RRT. These were all to the server. I wonder if there is some
DNS setting I am missing.
