Network speed problem related to user
I ran into a very unusual problem this week. A client called to note that their network / Internet connections were very slow on one computer.
The server is Windows 2008 R2 and the computer is Windows 7.
On the computer, I tested pinging and ipconfig and the replies from both were VERY slow, 15 to 20 seconds for the reply to come back.
I updated the BIOS and network drivers and Windows 7. None of this helped.
I logged into the computer as the network Admin and the problem has disappeared!
I am looking for a rational reason for this. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
I'd like to be able to log back into this computer as the regular user. Could this be the result of a bad user profile on the server? Do I need to create a new users?
Thanks!

We did end up just making a new user profile.
