We needed to change a mainboard of a Win2000 server (defective condensers),
and after reinstalling Win2000 Server (same chipset, yet different disk
controller, so "inaccessible boot device, ..., the whole bunch)), the server
is very slow.

Scanning through the internet about good ideas, I found the "context blocks
queued/sec" an interesting counter, as it increases to very high values (for
only ONE client - me - it averages about 500,000 with a maximum of 1111,910
(!!!) with only little load). This server needs about 300 ms to answer some
inquiries (value taken from FILEMON). CodeWright or DevStudio are nearly
unusable if more than one file is opened.

What can I do to find out the reason? Where can I look?

It's an
CPU: Athlon Xp 3000+
RAM: 512 MB RAM
NIC: Intel Pro 100 S

Good ideas are welcome. Please.

Well when I switched to another NIC (Via Rhine - onboard) then it all went
back to normal.

Although the TCP/IP throughput was o.k. with the Intel NIC (netio found 11
MB/s)...

Sigh... does anybody know a reason for such behaviour? The Intel NIC was on
the old mainboard without problems.
