I'm really hoping that someone out there can really give me a hand with a
major problem I'm having in my Windows network. First just let me explain
that my Windows network is simple, one physical location, one 3Com switch, 40
workstations running Windows XP Pro, and 5 servers runnng Windows Server 2003
with SP2. Here is the issue:
Every Windows XP workstation and member server are slow in resolving names,
surfing on the Internet, going to a command prompt window and just runing the
following commands are slow: ping, netstat, ipconfig, net view and so on...
when I run those commands the response for the command to execute is about 3
to 4 minutes and this is hapenning everywhere, but the ONLY server that seems
to act normal here is the Domain Controller, is the ONLY server that is NOT
slow.
What things I checked? Well, I already verified IP settings on all member
servers, DHCP server assigining IPs to clients has the correct settings, WINS
is normal, my ISP router/gateway is fine, I did some Network Monitor packets
on a few member servers and found nothing, I checked the switch port settings
and all is normal... what else can I check or does anyone know what my issue
may be...
This one has being the most challeging one yet as I cannot figure out what
is causing this slow responses...
