We are running nothing but Cisco in all of our branches. I will look at that
for sure.

I'd agree with this one, especially if you use Cisco switches. In my
experience they utterly refuse to autonegotiate properly with any NIC,
causing lots of packet loss and hideous network performance.

I notice that sometimes if the nic is set to "autodetect" it cause
communication slowdown.
maybe you could check the nics configuration.

I have not found the answer yet, but I have isolated this to our Windows XP
machines. When a Windows XP machine starts to run slowly (and I am running
something locally), I just unplug the network cable. The XP machine picks
right back up. This leads me to believe (in our environment anyway), that
it is some sort of network interaction that is causing the slow down.
I know it is not a solution, but it may help to isolate the problem.
Please keep the list posted if you find something.
Thank you,

I am checking their server right now and it seems to be running slower than
dog dirt as well. I don't know if this is part of the problem.

I checked this and it is not set to "1", but to "0" as suggested. I am still
trying to work on the possible RAM issue on each of these machines. Thanks
Toby for the help on the Performance tab of the task manager. Never did
quite understand all of the values and what they meant.
I think that since they are using machines with AutoCAD and Office, I am
going to try the new RAM idea. If anyone else has any ideas, I would really
be happy to hear them.
Thanks again for all of the help.

I had similar issues but were being caused by "enablesecuritysignature"
in the registry on the 2000 server
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\param
eters). I have to set this key to 0 in order for network traffic between XP
pro and 2000 server to be fast. If "enablesecuritysignature" is set to 1,
then XP to 2000 Server is *very* slow.

We also use AutoCAD, Office, etc...
Might not be what you're having issues with, but it might help...

With TaskManager you can look at a snapshot of memory used on the
performance tab. Windows will always keep some free "Available"
memory
on hand - so if you are using more than, say, 450MB out of the 512 you may
be paging.
To look at the paging activity, you want to use the performance monitor
(control panel->Administrator tools).

I know that this is going to be a silly question, but how can I check to see
how much paging is going on? Should I use the CPU monitor on the task
manager? Two of the machines don't have Autocad and only run Voloview to
view/print drawings. What do you think should be the minimum amount of Ram
for those running AutoCAD?
Thanks for the reply.

I would look at the memory usage. AutoCAD can eat up a lot of memory.
If memory is tight, there should be a fair amount of paging going on.

This may not be an appropriate question for a Windows 2000 group, but
here it goes.
We have 4 machines in one of our departments in our Seattle store that
are experiencing computer slowdowns. At first I thought that it was
network issue replacing an older hub with a switch. Then they told me
that all of their applications including those local to their
machine(like Word and Excel) are slow. I then went up to the store and
looked for viruses and spyware cr@p, but nothing out of the ordinary.
No
rogue processes or other various issues. All the machines are
different
with 1 being a Dell and 3 being custom built at different times. The
only thing that I can see that is common to all of the machines is MSN
Instant messaging, XP Pro, Office XP or 2003 and Autodesk Software.
They
each have 256 - 512 MB of Ram and connect to a Windows 2000 server for
other various corporate applications.
Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
