Kelly,
Thanks for sharing. The TCP Chimney problem, we are finding, is messing up a
ton of other things also: TDP for MSSQL, Citrix sessions, printing of large
jobs, etc. Our standard procedure now is to turn it off on (all existing and)
new servers. BTW, thanks to Del Hoobler for pointing us in the right direction
when we were having issues with our TDP for MSSQL clients.

Folks,
Several weeks ago, somebody was seeing something very similar to our
experience below. I didn't see if the problem was resolved, but here is
a fix if it wasn't.
Thanks,

Subject: Slow Transfer Speeds After 2003 SP2 upgrade
Some of you might have seen this already but I know I had not. Here is
a link to a MS article that explains the fix/workaround for poor network
performance on a server after SP2 was installed. I worked with Argonne
on an exchange backup problem where performance was 2 Mb/sec from the
exchange server. I was able to track this back to starting on May 29th
(the same day they did and SP2 upgrade). They implemented this KB
article on the Exchange server and the transfer speeds are now back up
between the 50-70 Mb/sec range.
Just thought I would share it in case you run into something like that.
