Maybe a nifty prg I could run to benchmark and compare to yours?, as I think it's potentially the vfp application and not necessary vfp reading data from the server. -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: 19 October 2012 16:14 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: VFP / Windows 2008 Server R2 / Windows 7 Clients and ....maybe a quick test with a cheap hub of just one pc to the server or even using a simple crossover cable just to isolate the speed loss.

It certainly sounds like a weird one and probably so obvious, but only once you have found the solution! We have the same configuration and to say the least it is RAPID even with 100+ users. Has the bridging been set up correctly? I'd try just with one card to check.

I have checked caching and it's disabled. There is a domain in place isn't the Windows Client required ? I will take a second look at the LAN card in the server. the only thing going against this is that the vfp installation was the same on the previous server. The old 2008 server had a single 1gig card the new 2008 server has 2 bridged, but the new one is no better than the old (well not visibly). -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: 19 October 2012 15:59 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: VFP / Windows 2008 Server R2 / Windows 7 Clients Chris, The cacheing is turned off on the server by right clicking on drive in the Computer/Manage and disabling the cache if it is in fact available on the drive. Just as a WAG, have you tried just running with TCP/IP as the protocol and romoving the windows client and any other clients. This should run no problem and fast so if it doesn't then I'd look at the infrastructure or tend to concentrate on the common factor - the LAN card in the server.

I think this is right for a file based database app like vfp ... am I right? I don't think any clients have been disabled as I think that because the server doesn't talk smb2 the clients don't by default? Thanks Chris. -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: 19 October 2012 15:48 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VFP / Windows 2008 Server R2 / Windows 7 Clients On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 9:52 AM, Chris Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > What's the general opinion if the following combo is slow? > > Anti Virus has been explored. > Chris: Have you tried toggling SMB2? ref: http://leafe.com/archives/msg/472437 -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
