i only have 2 servers - both running server 2003
hp ml150g2 servers (2 gb of ram)
i am not running SQL or a web server at all.
about 30 office users and 30 laptop users (laptops vpn once and a while to send orders - but they do NOT actually work on the network via the vpn)
i am having some major problems with my one server (it is running dhcp, dns, mas200, etc)
some of the workstations get disconnected from the server at random times during the day. they can hit the icon in the right hand corner to reconnect, but obviously this should not be happening.
i have not made any changes to anything on the server lately - that would cause this change. so i am trying to figure out what is causing the server slowdown with network traffic.
i have the task manager running and it is not the cpu or ram or nic getting hit hard enought to be causing my problems so i have to look elsewhere.
my other server is running DNS, WINS - it runs great.
i have already installed the latest nic drivers to no avail.
i have rebooted both servers - to no avail.
so i went thru all the settings - and i found a couple of things that i was wondering might help.
network load balancing: is currently disabled.
and server optimization:
maximize data throughput for file sharing: is currently enabled
please help !
one last very odd thing. the server that is having the problems- seems to have problems surfing the internet. it takes FOREVER to load pages if it loads them at all. yet the other server with same network settings surfs fine.
