Have you disabled the Scalable Network feature on the server? Did you check both the switch & the nic settings on the servers to make sure they're identical?
Scott Kaufman Lead Network Analyst ITT ESI, Inc. From: Kim Longenbaugh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 12:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: file copy strangeness We have a workstation running Windows XP sp2. This workstation must transfer files from it's local C:\ to a folder on a network share. The file is typically about 330 megs or so. The problem is that copying the file is taking up to 30 minutes using Windows Exploder. The odd thing is, if we transfer a file TO the workstation from the network, it goes extremely fast. We also copied files to the workstation from other workstations with no appreciable delays. Does anyone recall a reason why copying a file from a work would go extremely slow, while transferring a file to the workstation goes at the expected speed? We've scanned for viruses and malware using McAffee and MalwareBytes both, with nothing detected. We've replaced the network cable, verified the speed/duplex settings (100/Full), and even replaced the nic. Oddly enough, replacing the nic made it worse...so we reverted to the onboard nic. The operator waited to report the issue for about 3 weeks after it started, so it's hard to say what changed for sure.
