1. Do other apps work fine? Word, etc.?
2. What are the OS on the clients?
3. What are the speeds (using the amazing utilities -- advnaced)
4. How is your DNS set up? e.g.:
If server is:
192.168.1.2 IP address
255.255.255.0 Subnet mask
192.168.1.1 Default gateway (IP address private side of router)
192.168.1.2 WINS Server
192.168.1.2 DNS Servers
All of this info obtained by ipconfig /all at a command prompt
The client should be:
192.168.1.x IP address, where x = 3 through 254
255.255.255.0 Subnet mask
192.168.1.1 Default gateway
192.168.1.2 DHCP Server (address of server)
192.168.1.2 DNS Servers (points to server)
WHILE YOU CAN USE STATIC, BEST PRACTICES = DHCP SUPPLIED BY SERVER AND NOT ROUTER OR SWITCH.
IP address of your ISP should be in the forwarders of your DNS on server.
