Rich, all the security stuff is disabled, we didn't need it anyway but I
took it off as a precaution the other day.

Do you have any of the SonicWall security services or content filtering
licensed and enabled?  Have you cranked up alerting to tell you if the
SonicWall might be blocking something because of one of those services?
That 5500 should be powerful enough to handle quite a bit of throughput.

I have been troubleshooting a bandwidth problem where connections are
dropping. We ran some different tests like speedtest and pingtest as well as
a trial of visualware. Everything points to tcp max delay (300ms) being a
major issue and suggests packet loss. I have run some tracerts for the ISP
and they say its not their side. I tend to believe them a little because if
we unplug our Sonicwall and go directly the problem goes away. As a test I
rolled out a new Sonicwall 5500, reconfigured it and the problem still
exists. 

 

We are jumbo framed enabled internally, and our procurve mgmt software has
some intermittent issues throughout the network but nothing specific. Does
anyone have any good tools they could recommend to test internal
connectivity, the few tools i see just test speed which seems to be running
just fine (qcheck).

 

Thx
