Re: Performance puzzle on Windows server

Hold on, hold on.....

I missed you saying it only worked okay with the loopback address...

Now this may sound silly, but the problem MAY be in your IP address.
Obviously you will know the last number should not be 0 and with
Windows you don't want any numbers above 250. Now comes the tricky
part: I have seen at least one case where a certain IP adress (e.g.
10.0.0.1) seemed to confuse the router. This may have had something to
do with IPX also being installed, but in thruth I really don't know.
Changing the address did the trick...
