Well, then this sounds like it might be a network problem of some sort, despite the low ping times from your house. > As per an Allaire article, I've changed the number of > simultaneous requests from 5 (the default) to 3 (2 - 3x > the number of processors) and I haven't seen a difference. Unfortunately, there's no good formula to figure out the appropriate value for this field. Load testing is the only way to get the right value for this, and the old Allaire recommendations (2-3x the number of processors) are bunk. > I've also played with the page cache, but find that the > default(1024k) is just as good as any other.

I'd try to go through a process of elimination. What happens if you request a regular HTML page from that server? What happens if you request an HTML page on another server on the intranet from home? Are there any proxy servers between home and the intranet? Does your firewall or proxy server filter application content? As Cameron points out, if you have a good network administrator, that person might be able to help you with the general diagnostics, but otherwise, you're on your own.
