Hi
I’m managing a small network consisting of one sever running windows 2000 server, and 8 workstation XP/2000/98. They connect to the Internet through a netgear router to an ntl ISDN line.
We had the msblaster virus a couple of weeks ago. I down loaded the blastfix from Symantec, and the Microsoft patch and removed the worm from the system and patched the vulnerable computers. According to the blastfix program the worm was only on the XP machines not 2000 server or workstation or the 98 machines. Since then the internet has slowed down considerably. And disappears completely when all the computers are trying to connect at the same time.
I’ve found that if I ping the router it will respond correctly for a few minutes then ill get a request timed out for 20 second or so then it will com back to life again for a few minutes the go again. At worst the router will time out for 5 minutes or so at which point I switch it off and restart it and then it comes back.
Does this sound like blaster is still in the system? I’ve run the blastfix program again but all the computers appear to be clean. Any advice is much appreciated.
