Spencer,
You have posted this question to techarena.in
Which attempts to copy posts from Microsoft's Public Newsgroup
This Breaks Threads from the source and we can not see what you are
referring to.

Please post a new question to

As the NNTP newsgroups will be retiring soon.

>>>>>>>>>>> Reminder Newsgroups EOL <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

What is Happening?
This message is to inform you that Microsoft will soon begin discontinuing
newsgroups and transitioning users to Microsoft forums.

Why?
As you may know, newsgroups have existed for many years now; however, the
traffic in the Microsoft newsgroups has been steadily decreasing for the
past several years while customers and participants are increasingly finding
solutions in the forums on Microsoft properties and third party sites. This
move will unify the customer experience, centralize content, make it easier
for active contributors to retain their influence, mitigate redundancies and
make the content easier to find by customers and search engines through
improved indexing. Additionally, forums offer a better user and spam
management platform that will improve customer satisfaction by encouraging a
healthy discussion in a clean community space. To this end, Microsoft will
begin to progressively shift available resources to the forums technology
and discontinue support for newsgroups.

In addition to offering a compelling online browser experience, for those
users who prefer to use an NNTP (newsgroup) reader to participate in the
newsgroups community, we have developed a solution called the NNTP Bridge
which allows a user to connect a variety of supported NNTP readers to the
forums they would like to participate in and continue having the NTTP reader
functionality. You can find instructions on how to download and set up the

Microsoft NNTP Bridge
http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums/

Which Newsgroups Are Affected by this Shutdown?
All public newsgroups will eventually be closed between June 1, 2010 and
October 1, 2010. Microsoft will be closing newsgroups in a phased approach,
starting with the least active newsgroups and moving eventually to more
active ones throughout the course of the next six months.

Where Should I go with the Closure of this Newsgroup?
Microsoft has a large selection of forums, many of which cover either the
same or closely related technologies to the ones found in the newsgroups.
The forums have seen amazing growth and are an excellent place to continue
the discussion.

Since you don't properly quote the thread you're asking about, since
this is Usenet and not a web based forum, we can only guess about your
issue:

1) What antivirus software are you running on the workstations?
2) What antivirus software are you running on the server
3) Is your DHCP properly setup using the 2008 Wizards?
4) Is your DNS properly setup using the 2008 Wizards?
5) Did you setup the drive shares using the Wizards?

Post an IPCONFIG /ALL from the server (don't edit it)

Same problem on 2 different networks too....
No antivirus installed, good switch, always use a wizard, completed all
BPA problems

I think I have an educated guess as to what is happening. I think it
has something to do with IPV6. On both my servers IPV6 and IPV4 are
configured.

Could this be the culprit?

I have exactly the same issue with two customers networks. Different
hardware, different nic's but both are intel. Speed with windows 7 and
vista is perfect, xp is around 1mbytes/sec of a gigabit switch.

What I have read on other forums, as unlikely as it sounds is that it is
due to a feature of the Intel NICs in server 2008 called x.

Microsoft KB968991 is the microsoft knowledgebase number for this issue.
(this is to do with the intel IO acceleration technology, but i am not
sure if this is the cause of the slowness). Another thing to try and fix
the problem is to disable TCP window scaling. (through netsh)

Apparently this is a known problem and there are several hotfixes, which
I have tried unsuccessfully. This problem has only come to our attention
on sites where fast network speeds are needed, for many sites they are
probably having the same issue unknowingly.

I am going to try and install a realtek nic to see if it resolves the
issue

Someone smarter than me try and work out what causes it???
