The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SBS 2000 network experiences slow internet download speeds

Asked by PaultheBroker in SBS Small Business Server, Tivoli Storage Manager

Tags:

I have an SBS 2000 server SP1 connected to a SonicWall firewall.  I've just upgraded to Fibre Optic, which should give me 15Mps downloand and 2 Mps upload.  When tested using the router provided by the provider, connected directly into a PC I do indeed get 15 down, 2 up.  When I connect my SBS 2000 Server via the sonciwall firewall (with all other network equipment unplugged, speed is reduced to 2.5 Mps download.  However, UPload is fine - i get between 1.5 and 1.8 Mps.  Connecting the PCs back into the network, download speed from the PCs is even worse - about 1 Mps

I've spoken with SonicWall technical support, and the firewall should easily handle up to 100Mps.  Deep packet inspection should only have a 20% hit on performance, so they did not think this was the issue.  They checked the configuration on the Firewall, and all seems good.

Also, browsing on the PCs connected to the network is considerably slower than from the server itself, so I'm wondering if it is something to do DNS on the server - this was configured using the SBS internet connection wizard.

I've poured hours and hours into this, and purchased a new switch, and switched ISPs (to no avail) so anyone who can help me out I would be zehr grateful....Start Free Trial
