Strange problem

[Flare]

Hi

I have had a win 2000 server runnig for serval month now. Im using Remote
Access and Routing to enalbe Internet sharing with NAT. I worked perfectly
until i convertet my server to a Domain Controller.

After that, the internet on alle the clients is EXTREEMLY slow. Eg. bbc.com
takes around 20-30 seconds to show on the clients. If i browse the page
directly from the server it loads within a few seconds.

Any idea why the DC converting is sucking all life out of win2000's Routing
function?

The CPU load never exceed 10% so thats not the problem.

Really hope someone has a suggestion.

I suspect that clients are now connecting to the DNS server on the domain
controller, so now they're waiting for the DNS request to the domain
controller to time out before hitting the *real* DNS servers. Before you
went to the domain controller, DNS was not provided on that server, clients
went *directly* to the real DNS servers. Disable the W2K DNS server or
reconfigure DHCP to use the real DNS servers.

Just speculating, but seems logical.

I´ve found a lead. I see that my NAT is rejecting aporx 30% off all packets.
Especially when images (larger files) are involved. I see other have had the
same problem, but no solution is ever mentioned.

This describes my problem excatly

and this too.

Can anyone think of a solution or cause to this problem. My network is in
its current state almost useless.
