Slow download performance with windows 7 on Cisco 2960S

has someone experience with the the windows 7 on Cisco 2960S.
One customer had the issue with very slow download rate ( 500kByte) with 100MB / full duplex and default tcp paramenter under win 7 with IOS 12.2.55SE1.
No error was seen.
The change of follwing in windows improve the performance a litte bit to 1-2 MByte.
no compression, no tcp windowing, no received side scaling, no windows side heuristic, no checksum offloading and a smaller MTU size than default.
After update the Switch to 12.2.55.SE2 the performance imporve to 4-12 MByte.
Has someone an idea about the chances in IOS 12.2.55SE2. I cant find anything in RN about this issue.
Best regards
Steffen

I have the same issues in WS-C2960G-48TC-L . my downloads dropped in my lan from 2 mb/s to 100kb/s in all operating systems including linux workstations . my ios version is 12.2(44)SE5 in 2960 switches .
i have 2 x 4503-E L3 and 14 2960-48TC-L switches but i can not access the new ios versions to test if the issue is coming from ios version because of end of support .
can someone ensure that the new ios remove this issue ?

T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

Hi everybody,
I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
Anybody experience on this?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
What are you using to check graphics performance?

Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

Hello,
Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion, and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks

Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Very slow download speeds with new laptop with windows seven- WRT160N Router

Just bought a new Laptop with windows 7 and of course wireless. Download speeds are horrible (0.2 mbs) and upload speeds are normal for me ( 8mbs) Have a wrt160N Wire less router. Older laptop and desktop work fine with normal( around (8mbs) downloads and uploads.
How do I fix this?

Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

Need some help.
I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.
Thank you in advance.

I recently purchased an older model computer with Microsoft Me from 2000. It doesn't have a web browser and I would like to download Firefox. Where do I find the download compatible with Windows Me and how do I download it?

I have looked in your web site product downloads and I am unable to find a web browser download that is compatible with Windows Me from 2000. What am I missing? Is there a web browser download that is even compatible? It is just a second computer for my grandsons to use and do homework on, but I am unable to get up the internet.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
Get it from here:

Having a problem with PEAP and Cisco 2960 Switch

Hi All,
    I am attempting to use PEAP with a LDAP backend on FreeRadius witht he MS Supplicant. I have it all working, in debug on the Radius server I see it sending all the information, the tunnel, medium etc. but with PEAP the Cisco switch is not changing VLANS. If I install the Cisco or Juniper client it works just fine if I use eap-mschapv2 but peap-mschapv2 does not switch the port to the right vlan. Is there something extra on the switch I need to do to allows PEAP or is there something on the FreeRadius?
    The only difference between the PEAP and EAP versions that I can tell is that the PEAP authenticates ands the information is sent once(according to the debug on the Radius server) where as with the EAP the connection information is sent several times, that is I will see the Tunnell and medium info sent more then once in the Radius log for just one login.
Any ideas?

Thought I mentioned the client in the first post, I am using the 3 different types of clients with a goal of getting the MS client to work. I am using the Juniper Odyssey client, Cisco CSSC client and the MS built-in client. I mentioned the EAP-MSChanpV2 because I tested that login so I could compare the Radius output with that of PEAP-MSChapV2. I did not release logs from the Radius server because it seems to be centered with something on the switch changing Vlans but if you want output I can give that..
CSSC Client pops out:

Downloading Lightroom with Windows Vista

Can I download Lightroom 5.5 with Windows Vista?

Downloading LR 5.3 isn't a problem, but running it will be, as it isn't supported. You could take a look at this http://www.doerg.es/doku.php?id=start:computer:lightroom5vista. I would point out that it is not supported by Adobe.

Very Slow SMB Performance with DroboShare

Hi there,
We have a big issue with a DroboShare NAS device connected to a Drobo Drive (FAT32):
If we connect to our DroboShare NAS directly via LAN, the performance with SMB is terrible. Browsing folders takes minutes until the contents (15 items) are shown, opening and saving files takes minutes.
If we connect the Drobo via USB to one of our Macs and then share it via SMB, it is fast as ****.
Problem is that we cannot leave it this way, as we only have portable macs, so if they are removed, nobody can access the Drobo.
The problem nevertheless seems to be restricted to Macs: If we connect to the DroboShare with Linux or Windows Boxes, everything is as fast as expected.
Does anyone has similar issues with weak performance and/or knows how this can improved?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon

I just ported netatalk (AFP) over to the DroboShare.

Trouble playing downloaded audiobooks with Window Media Player

I can’t get audible book downloads from Net Library to play on my computer. Microsoft Windows Media player v9 and above is required to listen to eAudiobooks. I have this version. When I try to launch a download I get the message: cannot open file; verify file and path are correct. What do I need to do?

Hi, kathy. Welcome to the Discussions.
The Net Library audio books you are downloading are undoubtedly using a version of WMA-DRM (Windows Media Audio - Digital Rights Management) later than version 1.3. According to this post on another forum and related info on Microsoft's Web site here, version 1.3 is the latest version of WMA-DRM supported by WMP9 for Mac OS X.
In other words, the audio books use a later version of DRM (specifically the Microsoft Windows Media Rights Manager ) than that supported by WMP9. They simply will not play in WMP9.
Flip4Mac will not help you here:
• It clearly states on this page that "Note: Flip4Mac does not support content that is protected with Windows Media digital rights management (DRM). "• Flip4Mac would not let you convert the WMA-DRM-protected files to QuickTime files as this would require cracking the DRM protection, a violation of the U.S. DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).
Accordingly, you're out of luck with the Net Library audio books that do not play in WMP9 unless you have a PC running Windows and WMP10.
That Net Library went with files protected by WMA-DRM is a sore point for many Mac users. Search for Net Library in this page for some examples of similarly frustrated users.
Good luck!

PSE12 download difficulties with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2

After 4 attempts and 4 failures and equally 4 uninstall operations, I have yet to get a functional version of PSE12 purchased online at the Adobe website in Dec, 2013. Furthermore, my Adobe account does not list this purchase...YES, I do have a copy of the original purchase receipt both hard-copy printed, and pdf-copy-saved, at the time of purchase. And, yes, my Visa card provider lists Adobe posting this purchase. However, Adobe never emailed me to confirm my purchase nor give me a link to download the software! I did register my PSE12 serial number at my Adobe account site a few days later. That is the only information Adobe shows on my account regarding my as-yet-unobtained PSE12.
I have a 5 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2 that also seems to have all the requirements to use PSE12. I have PSE6 now on the machine, and, really love its features. I do not view any video on this laptop, i.e. no movies or video games, just occasion short YouTube-type videos. This is word-processing and image-processing workhorse. I do a fair amount of PhotoShop work with still images, and, simply wanted the latest upgrade of PSE. Adobe was offering it at a good sale price.
I have been online to chat with Adobe telling me to go through the trial download version, then 'buy' it by giving the serial number. That worked once, but, did not generate a functional app. What is Error 105??? I have had at least two phone calls with Adobe, one with a rep who could not help, and, the other with a rep whose foreign accent was almost impossible to understand. I am hearing-inpaired, and, mere audio-volume enhancement is not always enough trying to speak with someone for whom English is not their native language.
So now what? I do not have high confidence that Adobe can or will fix this. I have posted several detailed reports at their security site because I was concerned that my downloads were being hijacked and possibly my credit card information compromised. They say they do not have my phone number, though it is posted at my Adobe account site. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe's pdf options are very good programs that I used for years, first with Apple computers, and, then after 2008 with a Windows PC. Has Adobe become overwhelmed with cyber-security problems? I'm about at the point where I want my money back. Can anyone suggest an image-application as good as PSE? Help!

Mj2ePhD do you receive the Error 105 when you are in the Adobe Download Assistant? If so then please see solution 4 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_4 for information on how to resolve your current difficulties.
Alternately you can bypass the use of the Adobe Download Assistant by download Photoshop Elements using the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html.

General Performance with Windows?

Im a seasoned mac fanatic, but since I got my G5 back in 04 I haven't been keeping up with the latest Mac News.
Basically I'm interested in getting a Mac Book Pro because I play mid-higher end gfx pc games on my Dell and I understand you can run Windows natively with hardware acceleration. Ive used Virtual PC and YUCK!
I have a Dell XPS Quad Core QX6700 that I've been using and its good, but from having a G5, G3, and the old Power Macs, a Quadra, Centris, etc.. I know Macs are faster when compared side by side.
Ok my question... How is performance under windows? Can I play these same games no problem? Virtual PC could barely run solitaire so I am a bit skeptical about the performance I hear. I wish Apple put a 1GB of video memory but the games I play can use 512 just fine.
Thanks for the help!
Chris

Thank you for the star!
I have just noted some general advice on Boot Camp, with a Windows XP partition, which I also highly recommend.
First, you should read the Boot Camp manual carefully and follow it in detail.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_CampInstall-Setup.pdf
Second, you should format your Windows partition using the NTFS format. Fat 32 will not support files larger than 3.5 GB.
By having your partition formatted as NTFS, you will be able to upgrade to Windows 7 easily in the future should you wish to do so. I would recommend a minimum partition size of 40 GB.
To access your Mac hard drive from Windows, you would want to check out MacDrive 7, which is really good.
http://www.mediafour.com
Under NTFS, you will be able to read your Windows drive from your Mac drive.
However, if you want to write to it, you will need the following software from Paragon.
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
If you go with XP, and to save money, look for Microsoft OEM versions of Windows XP. These are the same as retail versions of Windows, but you will pay far less, i.e. $129 vs. $399.
However, do not go for manufacturer OEM copies of Windows, like from Dell or HP, as they will not work properly.
You can find the proper versions at CDW or Amazon.

SMB Extremely Slow over VPN With Windows Server 2003

Hello everyone,
I finally convinced another person at my law firm to switch to a MacBook Pro. In preparation, I am attempting to fix any compatibility problems that would put off this new user. Unfortunately, our IT guy recently switched us to a Sonicwall SSL-VPN 200. I can connect to our server through the VPN client with no problems and I can mount our internal file server, but the connection is incredibly slow. My initial reaction was that it must be a problem with Windows Server 2003 and SMB, but I was previously able to connect to and operate on our VPN through our old Fortinet (ipsec) device with no problems. Simply put, directory switching, file moving, etc. are all now incredibly slow over the VPN. Help!

Full support for SMB signing did not appear until Samba 3.0.2 released in 2004. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) supports SMB signing. Previous versions require either disabling SMB signing server-side, using a third party SMB client, using the command-line smbclient program, or updating samba yourself.
