Sites on the server are "Dog butt slow"

[TheLow1]

I have a Windows 2000 advanced server running IIS and FTP only. There are about 15-20 sites running on this machine. None of the sites take more than a few hundred hits a day. The server appears to be fine. Windows 2000 ADV Server P3 750 393MB ram, Processor usage is at 5%, Ping times are even good to the websites and the server. The web pages load so slow. It dosen't appear to be the site either, If I move it to another server it appears to work fine. Any ideas.

THANKS

It sounds like it could be a bandwidth issue, but that's just me. Check your cables for kinks, verify you're really connected at the speed you think you are, etc.

Try using the system monitor with counters for Server (total bytes/sec) and a few for Network Interface and Physical Disk (Current disk queue length maybe?)

Good luck! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

That was my first guess, BUT. I can ping the server and the sites. I get response times of about 74ms. I have been running Perfmon, the items I have selected Current Bandwidth and it is fine. Like I said in the first post the band width is fine for FTP.

Trippy.

I assume you're using multiple host headers on one IP for the websites... have you tried disabling them one by one and see if it's a MS/IIS issue w/ multiple host headers?

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is to uninstall IIS and then reinstall.

Ping does not measure the bandwidth of a site, only how long it takes from point a-b....are you on a cable modem, dsl, isdn or a T1 line???, measure your bandwidth (I can't remeber what the site names are, but they are out there)....I would agree it's a bandwidth problem

Have you played around with the iislockdown tool or group policy? I had a similiar problem that was related to permissions on the site rather than bandwidth or even serve performance.

I ran the "Internet Speed Test" from MSN and it came back fine (1652K) This problem only appears to be IIS related. Thanks for your imput, I will continue working on this.

Download this to check for bandwidth. It works pretty swell.
