Response Time Loading Files From Server
Have you got Antivirus running on the server? I’ve seen AV cause saves to fileshares slow down. Try relaxing the settings and see if it makes any difference. Also, make sure the servers are running the latest firmware on the devices and the latest corresponding drivers. Thanks, Greg.

But there is no standard query for this lookup, only the reverse (which company owns this IP). Now lets make a little experiemnt and look into searchopensource.techtarget.com specifically % host searchopensource.techtarget.com searchopensource.techtarget.com is [...]

Yes, there is such a cable. It’s called a back-to-back cable. The best place to look is probably eBay. Something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9714988623 is probably what you need, but be sure to verify what type of physical connectors you need on each end before buying.

Don’t know what might have caused this to start happening, but you should make sure you have updated antivirus and spyware protection. If so, do scans in safe mode. Check your startup programs for anything non-standard. Use Startup Control Panel from www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml. Check [HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop] and change AutoEndTasks=1 to fix the symptom.
