Win2k Eating Bandwidth?
A guy I work with recently had his win2k server go slightly south, it got stuck in a reboot cycle and we needed to upgrade it to itself (reinstall over the top) before it was ok.
Ever since this happened we've noticed a weird problem with networking. Windows appears to be eating his bandwidth. He pings fine, gets the same rates as my machine both internally and externally to our network, but at the higher level it's as if windows loses about half his packets. My machine is gettign a rate of 777k/s to the server downstairs, his gets barely an average of 10k/s.
There are no odd services running, we've tried blocking everything from the network except IE with sygate personal firewall and there are no ghost hardware items or anything in Device Manager.
Any ideas guys? We expect a full clean reinstall would fix it, but we'd rather not as it's a big job.
Thanks,
