Delay Issue

[rleestma]

Hi all...

I've got this wierd problem, and I'm hoping you can help me figure it out...

I've got a quad xeon box running on a T-1 connection... My "to the internet" topology is as follows...

SERVER <-----> WATCHGUARD SOHO <------> INTEL EXPRESS 8220 ROUTER <--> Internet

Sometimes, when the initial session is negotiated my client will time-out (most easily seen on web-page)... as soon as I hit F5 on my browser, it will come right up.

I have really no idea what is going on, but I figured that maybe fragmentation has something to do with it... so I checked on my SOHO and Intel router, and it turns out that both have a MAX MTU of 1500. Could my w2k box be forcing fragmented packets? Anyone else have this problem? I am stumped.

Thanks!

I don't know if this will help, but you may try stopping the &quot;DNS Client&quot; service and setting it to manual. We have had similar problems and that seemed to fix it for us. If that doesn't help, post again and I will try to look further.
