Hi.. I have a small improvement on the problem.. now this is what i did.. on rtr C i put access-lists such that only reqd data passes through.. and this resulted in clients logging without any problems.. also the users there said that after this was put the client part of this foxpro based application would not display errors of no connection or connection timing out.. all that i could see was there was a lot of activity on the RTR 805.
Can this be due to excessive broadcast of the netbios ?? that helper-address has opened the ports for..? if so which ports and protocols to permit. i want to remove the access-list since 805 is really a small router to do too much of packet processing.. i would like to know if i am going in the right direction. Crestion --thanks for the mail.. i shall do that and let me see what it has to say ? can Etherpeek monitor serial links across on router ? thanks, Murali -----Original Message----- From: C restion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Slow Links. [7:44141] Hi Murali, This definitely is a strange problem. I would advise to put sniffers on both ends of the connection (so one between the NT Server and Router A and one between router C and the Win98 client), try to logon and than watch the packet flow for any anomalies. Especially keep an eye on the 'delta time' column and watch for a sudden increase in time. This usually points to where the connection gets 'stuck' and will help you pinpoint the problem. If your company doesn't have professional sniffers, you could probably get the same result with one of the freeware sniffers (Etherpeek, etherreal).
