I have a friend on a very fast connection who after installing 2k3 on his system has bandwidth limitations between 150 -180 KB instead of say 2MB. Were both looking thru services and whatnot to see if there is anything holding it back, aperently we can't find anything. He upgraded from XP and had no problems with that. We have no explanation for this, please help!

Alright, this is actually my box, just havent been able to post since i just signed onto the boards. It is a completely fresh install of 2k3. The problem seems to be that most of the time I am capped at 250k/sec, when i know i can do at least 2megs/sec. There are only a very few instances in which i have been able to reach that mark again, but from sites i have known to be able to get high speeds, it is capped.

So i was wondering if anyone knows of any service settings or anything to try, because i have tried enabling every service, as well as disabling almost all of them, and neither works.

you are confusing your bits and bytes.

2 MBits/sec is 240-250KB/sec

So, you're going at your max speed.

Again, none of this is really of any help, I know my speeds, they are just typos, actually, they arent even typos, im just throwin in different standards in the same statement to save space. Anyway, for those of you who are confused, I am being capped at 250k/sec, when usually i get 2megabytes A second

Mate, you CAN'T get "2 megabytes/sec" in a home connection... but 2 megaBITS/sec it's possible....

If you are getting 250 kB/sec it's ok... but if you get 250 kb/s maybe there are a problem...

Note 250 kB/sec is 250 kBYTES/sec and 250 kb/sec is 250 kBITS/sec... the difference in in the lowercase "b" or the uppercase "B".... b = bits, B = Bytes...

Check that... ;)

Dear lord, if you havent figured out by now, this is not a home connection, this is a T3 connection, so yes, I do get 2megabytes a second. But again for some reason i am capped at 250kB/sec. And yes I know that 2megabytes a second is not the highest a T3 can go, but that is what i get.

Nope, I haven't figured that mate... I left the cristal ball at work... sorry... :rolleyes:

Anyways, back to your problem... looks really weird... maybe some issues with NIC drivers...??? Check the NIC values in the Control Panel... :cool:

You can't upgrade a client OS with a server OS. How did he mange to do it?

Actually I installed Windows XP Professional last night. This morning I popped my Windows Server 2003 in and got a "Warning" message that told me it was a bad idea to install it and is not recommended, clicked OK and went right on installing it-it was as easy as pie!

If it helps anybody out, Im thinking it may be something with a port bw limiting issue, since on occaison I do get my old speeds back, but in general they are slow, so Im thinking it may be a set of ports are limited, and others arent.

I'm almost sure there is not a limiting bandwidth feature in Win2003... really weird....

If I get some idea I'll be posting... :blink:

If you really did upgrade from XP to 2003 (yes is it possable), that is the problem right there ;)

No Its Not Possible. Put your 2003 CD in and start setup from an XP HE or XP Pro Box, it'll tell you immediately you cannot upgrade.

End of that.

between me and the T3, there is a major firewall, but before the install of 2k3, winxp worked fine with this firewall and still allowed me the full bandwidth. So besides that, there is nothing, and I dont have the windows firewall enabled, this is a physical firewall in place by the T3 provider. And Im also sure that the provider did not cap the service, since the install was done in a few hours and the problems started immediately after install and were not there previous to it.

click start, run, type: gpedit.msc, select Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Network, and double click QoS Packet Scheduler. In the right hand window you will see "Limit reservable bandwidth, double click on it, check "Enabled", then set bandwidth limit to zero - Done!!

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
