Windows 2003 Server with terminal services\netgear ProSafe vpn firewall fvx538\Intel Pro EB 1000GB has a very slow RDP remote connection.

Hello,

I recently setup two Windows 2003 Server with terminal services. When I
connect with remote desktop from a server or laptop on the switch the
connection is fast, but when I connect to the 2 severs with remote desktop
outside the firewall I have a very slow connection. The older terminal
servers on the switch have a very fast remote desktop connection outside the
firewall. Windows 2003 Server with terminal services\netgear ProSafe vpn
firewall fvx538\Intel Pro EB 1000GB has a very slow RDP remote connection I
think it is the NICs, uninstalling the NICs drivers and trying older and
newer drivers without much of an improvement. Can someone that seen this
issue with Windows 2003 Enterprise and Intelpro 1000GB EB Nics help me or
point out problems with netgear ProSafe vpn firewall fvx538\Intel Pro EB
1000GB has a very slow RDP remote connection outside the firewall.

FYI, I did notice after removing the NIC drivers and installing them again,
I thought fixed it,the remote connection outside the firwall was fast for
several hours till the next day it was slow again.


Thanks
Joe

Hello,

can you check if the switch port isn't set to full duplex instead of auto ?
What happens if you switch the servers cable between them ?

does the "old" server got also the service pack 2 ?
what does show netstat -e on the new one ?

Install the lastest driver from intel.
