Is ping that slow too? What else did you try? FTP? TFTP? Traceroute and Telnet are sort of weird ways of testing response time, but a good start.....
Can you put a sniffer on one of the Windows machines and see where the delays are actually occuring? Try to distinguish between a "slow network" and slow applications. By looking at the timing of ACKs and other replies at the different layers, you could probably determine where the slowness occurs. Good luck. _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com Mike Sweeney wrote: > > I just set up a back to back PIX firewall test.
