We're using Squid as our proxy and filter for the Student PCs - which are running a mix of Win98, Win2k, and WinXPpro. The Faculty Macs all run throught it as well (from a different subnet).
We can have all the Win98 and 2k machines, AND all the Macs running on the Web, and nobody complains about slowness. BUUUUUUUT.......when more than 3 WinXP machines jump on the web, the XP machines slow to a crawl. It takes 75 seconds for the Google homepage to come up. Does anyone know of any WinXP specific tweaks we need to make to Squid so the blasted XP machines will stay happy? ----------------------------------------------- Tom Rule Co-Technology De-confusionating Guru Mount de Sales Academy Macon, GA www.mds.macon.ga.us/~trule www.mp3.com/tomco The Band www.mp3.com/trule The Normal Stuff www.mp3.com/tomex The Experimental Stuff ------------------------------------------------
