OK - it's back to normal at the office today, Tuesday...('crosses fingers...).

John

Well, I spoke too soon. It was really flying this morning, both from home and the office, but this afternoon, it was virtually dead in its tracks again, both from the office and home, on two...

Well, the gnomes must have been at work over the weekend! Today in the office, response at this site is back to normal, after being almost unusable all last week. This is even though tracert still...

Today, I can ping apollo with 1000 bytes just fine from the office, but this site only is still almost unusable from the office. Example - I'll finally get to the Main Forums page, and from the...

Nope - no XP SP2 anywhere - my home systems are even Windows 2000 SP4, as are some of the office systems, all of which have the delay, whether Win2K or WinXP. I'm more concerned with the patch MS put...

Wardsweb - 'just curious - have you installed any of the MS patches that came out last week, or does your computer automatically download them? 'Trying to find a common link here...

Ghost in the machine? :p Maybe he'll stay with YOU for a while... :duck:

John

I don't think that's it because if I come here while not logged in, just to browse around, I get the same delays. But I'll probably try that soon - what's to lose.

John N. - I can ping with 1000...

The wireless has been in place several months, likewise, the problem is from every computer I try it on at the office, whether recently updated or not. Only navigating this website has problems,...

Response time is exactly the same 60-70ms.

Weird - this reply function popped right up - no delay. Yet doing exactly the same thing at other times give that ~20 second delay...

John

'Still can't ping anything above 32 bytes. I'll get in touch with our ISP/WAN provider and run it by them.

One thing - both our offices connect to each other and the Internet via 2M high-speed...

32 bytes works, 64 bytes fail.

'Good thing I'm in IT at my company - the last few days all I've been doing is sitting in front of various computers, so I can pop in now and then to check. :)

OK, it totally times out with 1500 packet size - no replies at all.

John

Well, I cancelled afte the first 80 or so went by:

Ping statistics for 198.80.11.57:
Packets: Sent = 81, Received = 76, Lost = 5 (6% loss),

It seems to have reached a stalemate. One computer at home is fine, my regular one still has about 10% hangs, (hangs 10-20 seconds wheen clicking on links about 10% of the time) - I'll still follow...

OK, I'm back home. My home net consists of a first computer hardwired to a DSL modem. The modem also includes a wireless gateway which is how I connect with the other computer. For whatever reason...

Nope - 'wider than ever. :( I'm testing from yet another computer right now, and same big delays here only. There must be something flaky on the routes from here to there somewhere...

John

OK - I'm now at a different office, completely different area. Tracert is fine, but I'm still seeing the same kind of delays I do on my home system. Some things open right up, other things take 10-20...

The email message I sent was basically the same as what I posted. I'm contacting a consultant I work with for thorny routing issues to see if he has any ideas. It's the home issue that really has me...

I sent you an email through the forum since I'm back at the office and it's so unusable from here. Tracert from the office is still timing out on the last leg. I's just as soon communicate via email...

Well, I spent almost 45 minutes on the phone with MS pro-support to no real avail, but at least I've got a case open with them now, (no charge). KB873374 is somewhat problematic in that it installs...

Uninstalling KB833989 made no difference, which is logical because that's an IE patch and Netscape also has the problem. MS is trying to find uninstall info for the GDI/Jpeg patch as I wait...

John

Well, the home computer that works fine does not have the two very latest MS critical patches installed, KB873374 and KB833989. Those were both installed on the other computers a day or so before...

OK - this is weird. I fired up a different computer at home that doesn't have all the latest updates from MS and at least right now it's flying through everything, over wireless no less! I'll try...

OK - I'm at home again, and this time I'm trying Netscape instead of IE. It's better in many instances, (some things pop right up), but other things still have that 10-20 second delay. Here's the...
