I have 2 sites which are on the same network. Both sites have one NetWare 4.11 server (both patched with SP9). Users at site #1 have to access files on the server at site #2 (mainly word & excel documents). Recently the performance has degraded to the extent that it can take up to 15mins to open a excel file that is around 5-10mb in size.
Unfortunately I do not have any control over the network in between the 2 servers so I need to eliminate the servers first. I’ve been through all the usualTIDs on performance problems. Has anyone had a similar problem? As far as I can tell both servers are healthy as when users at site #1 access data on server #1 there isn’t a problem (likewise with site #2 & server #2). To me this suggests that thereis a network problem..
All suggestions/ideas welcome..
