slow lan connection, but resolves+pings

[docmeyer]

This is driving me bananas.
Replaced a switch, no biggee. But next morning everyone falling off the network. Finally all pc's but one refuses to play along. It is connected to a auto sensing 10/100.
It shows it's connecting at 100MB. It can PING by name/IP address, on time responses. Now, on the other hand try to open Outlook, forget it, mapped drives, forget it and the internet, it makes an attempt.

I have swapped cables, ports, nics and loaded a LMHOSTs file. Gave it a static IP, still no luck.

Getting lots of heat about it,,,secretary of course.

Any suggestions?

TIA

You said you put a new switch in there right? I'm sure you already did this, but I wanted to clarify. If you replace the new switch with another device, do things return to normal?

Hows your tcp/ip set up? DNS, DHCP, etc. What does ipconfig /all show. How about route print? Little more info would help. Thanks. Glen A. Johnson

If one side is doing half duplex and one side is doing full duplex, you will ping fine but throughput will be miserable.

I would try setting the computer to half duplex and see if it improves, (if it is NOT set to auto now try auto, first I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

AAARGH!!! Well tried all above suggestions, except axe $9.99 cheezeball NIC (brand new, boss bought it). Go across the street, buy $20 cheezeball nic, back in order.

Thanks a bunch all!
