Has this one site always been bad or is this a recent development? If recent, what has changed? What's at the remote site? All workstations? Or are there servers too? If there are servers, is local site traffic OK but WAN traffic slow? Or is even intrasite traffic bad? Any wireless out there? Any chance someone's fired up a WAP? If it's a small site, like 10 devices or less, maybe have someone turn off all the devices after hours and see what happens. If it's much better, fire up the devices one at a time until you find a problem. Could be a bad NIC on a PC.
But the best troubleshooting tool? Put wireshark on a local device out there and start looking at the traffic. *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 6:18 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Slow network - cause? > > I have a site-site VPN network. > My main site connects to 8 remote sites over a frame relay > MPLS cloud. > Connection between me and 7 sites is perfect. no problems. > One of my sites however, is experiencing very slow network > connectivity. > If I ping the remote router from my workstation, I get 40% - > 60% replies with 20-30ms response times (the response times > have always been 20-30ms). > > If I remote desktop to a PC out there, it is incredibly slow. > Also, they connect and run all their apps through Citrix, > which is also very slow. > > I checked bandwidth utilization on the router, and it is only > 100-150k out of 512k. > So it seems to me that this may be a local network device > that is slowing everything down?
