Using 2003 server std ed.
Using Intel Server mother board S7501HG2 and Dual Xeon
2.4ghz processors, 1gig ram. Bios ver. 17 and latest
drivers as of 9-21-2004 for lan and adaptec. 136gig scsi
drive no mirrors no raid, seagate scsi 3 tape drive and
tape on diff. mb controller. Netork is intel on board lan
connection at 100 full duplex. Hub is 3com 24 port
10/100. Copy of 90mb directory across local network
starts at 238 minute estimate and climbs. Have now seen
this on 4 separate servers 1 dual, 3 w/single processor.
No anti-virus program installed and spy/ad's striped
off. Speed of internet traffic shows no speed issues
(10), copy of data peer to peer (100)is issue. Data
transfer is slow from NT4 98 and XP pro systems on local
lan to 2003 server. Bios ver 15 is worse. Server has all
current M.S. updates as of 9-21-04. Time is set off Gov.
atom clock. Help. Any ideas ?

Verify that you are running the latest and the correct nic driver. Maybe
need to try the newest manufacturer driver for the card instead of using one
that microsoft has provided.

Also see if the nic manufacturer has any utilities that you can download to
check nic performance.

I would not worry about the estimate and see how long it is actually taking.

Verify that you can resolve the server name from the client and that the
client can resolve the server. Check DNS and make sure your server has only
the correct IP address.

Also use see if your hub or switch has utilities you could use to see if it
may be logging errors that will help your troubleshoot if it is a patch
cable somewhere on the network.

Also ping from one machine to the other both by name and ip address and view
results that help you verify connectivity problems.

Thanks I will look at these suggestions.
FYI I am on latest Nic drivers from Intel for that mother
board nic. Unless its has to do with order steps of
driver install since Intel has had issues like that in
past. Maybe someone can show light on that.
Oh yes I need mention again I have this issue with 4
servers at 4 separate locations not connected to each
other. So their is a issue some where. I have it setup
as a workgroup not a domain and I am not using DNS or
active directory. The problem (network speed slow)is
there from 98,XP and NT4 to the 2003 server.

Problem solved ! The issue is Intel website link for the
s7501hg2 mother board links to the wrong nic driver. You
need Pro2kxp.exe from nic card part of website. Link un-
resolved at Intel site as of 9-24-04. Hosts files do speed
up things slightly and I used them with the new driver.
