Wierd 2000 server network problem

[que3jxp]

I have a client that has a small Windows network of 1 200 SP4 server and 6 Windows XP Pro PCs. They are operating on a 10/100 network with wireless-G for some equipment.

We recently set up 2 of the PCs on a wireless network only to discover that there is a serious issue with the server.

The problem is that when communicating from a client TO the server, it is extremely slow. QCheck reports that speeds never exceed 1 Mbps. However, when communicating from the server to a client or between two clients, there is no problem at all. This, theoretically isolates the problem to the server.

I have swapped all the hardware in the server and the problem persists. This should eliminate the hardware as a possible source.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had posted about this about a month ago but was unable to get any sort of good responses It is not the hardware. My network does the identical thing. All I was getting was people stating that "that is what you get when using wireless and trying to use it to transfer files instead of using it for video"

I hope more people have have better replys to yours as they did to mine. It is kinda frustrating to log into my server to pull items off my desktop

My config was a netgear G router with latest firmware and netgear G card with latest drivers on windows xp as client and 2003 enterprise as server. Raid 5 as HD on server. It makes absolutely no sense why it is slow in one direction.

I assume you have already looked for the latest drivers and latest firmware for your devices

Well just to clarify something...

The p*** poor performance is even between a 10/100 device and the server. 802.11 just compounds the slowness as it is a less efficient than 802.3.
