Man oh man..... Fellas, I must say I pulled a dumbass move that I just figured out. For you non computer folks close this and move on to a bike topic... For those admins out there please be gentle... I have seven compaq proliant rack mount servers here in my office with two seperate T1's I run two watchguard firebox III firewalls and have two plaintree fibre switches acting as traffic cop.... I have been getting terrible terrible latency lately. With the complaints from the members and time outs and everything else I was at my wits end. I get real time stats with my firewalls and I noticed that there were lookups for every IP on my subnet of static IP's going out to the world on port 135 and 139, and 445. I was stunned, the captain with a virus no way Im a Beta test site for Mcafee and at work we partner with them no way.. I noticed the originating IP and turned the machine off and then another machine on my subnet began to broadcast.... WHAT two machines you say? No way.. then it hit me I noticed an IP from a nonroutable IP on my external interface coming from a WAP in here in the house... I was bumfuzzled.. I began tracing wires and I found the culprit...... A cat 5 cable plugged from one interface on switch 1 going to switch 2 causing a spanning tree. How did that happen you ask? I did too.....
Here he is......
Apparently he came in here and changed some cables around to help dad... You should all see a DRAMATIC improvement in speed on the site..
