Webdav EXTREMELY slow, now trying to connect directly to a WFE bypassing F5 using UNC

We are having problems with Explorer mode being VERY slow in multiple SP farms, (2010 & 2013), and are trying to get to the root of the problem.
We are trying to map a UNC path out directly to a server using something like \\servername\sitecollection\site\library and we can't get it to work.  Can anyone tell me how to do that?  I know I've done this way back in the past (2007) and assume
that it should still work in 2010 and 2013.
Failing that, can anyone offer any suggestions on things to look for with Explorer Mode being extremely slow?  We are getting like 1.15kbs download speeds in EM, where if we just download a document from the site via a Standard View it works just fine.
   We've been googling like crazy and having come up with anything so we thought we'd try to take the F5 out of the picture.
We've had several conversations with the networking team, which they claim that they are not throttling webdav in any way, and we can't figure out anything else that would allow webdav to get through, but just be VERY slow.
Thanks.

Up front, WebDAV connections are slow. To diagnose issues with WebDAV, you would need to introduce packet sniffing on the client and server (using Network Monitor 3.4 is an option).
The Web Application must respond to the name you're trying to map. For example, if the Web Application had an Alternate Access Mapping and IIS Site Binding of "servername", then you could use it. If not, you can't. Generally you do not use server names in
AAMs or IIS Site Bindings.

  • Extremely slow internet and staying connected

    I got Verizon internet almost 2 weeks ago. Ever since then it has been nothing but one problem after another. It cuts out so many times a day. I have to reset the modem 20+ times a day. Its very frustrating. I tried talking to customer service about it and they dont do anything, all they say is to go to the troubleshooting page and look around on there. I am ready to cancel because it is getting ridiculous. My modem is the Actiontec GT784 and it has built in Wifi, which cuts out as well. And the speed of the internet and the Wifi is extremely slow when it is connected. SOMEONE HELPPPPP!!! 

    Bad timing to get FIOS, There's an outage and Verizon doesn't seem to be doing anything.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

    I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

    Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
    If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
    Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
    If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
    Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

  • Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

    Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

    For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
    Hope this helped a bit, Sean

  • Nano first sync'ed extremely slow, now crashes all the time

    My Nano worked fine until a few days ago. It then suddenly started to sync extremely slow. Because of this, I canceled the sync, but the Nano stayed in Sync-Mode anyway. So I reseted it. That seems to have messed it up completely: now it crashes every time I connect it to my Macbook. When I try it, the Apple logo appears shortly, then the connect screen, after which it crashes again... Also when I try to play anything, the Nano just crashes...
    Resetting the iPod (Center+Menu) didn't work... Is there anything else I can do?
    Btw, my other iPods (1G Nano + Touch) seem to work fine. So iTunes probably is not the problem...

    Problem solved: I had to put the Nano into hard disk mode, so that the software doesn't get booted once it connect it to a Mac. That way it can't crash. Then I could reset it and now it works again.
    Btw, Apple Service didn't want to tell me how to do it. Luckily Google did:

  • I tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

    i tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
    You can read bout it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Videos are extremely slow when trying to view them

    Here is the situation. I have been posting course material for over a year now, and everything had been working fine. Over the last week, any video that I try to view from our iTunes U site is taking at least 5 minutes to play, when I double click on the video I get the loading bar, the videos that are less than 30 minutes long take between 5 - 8 minutes to play, the ones that are over 30 minutes take between 10 - 15 minutes to play. This had never happened before, and the weird thing is that I can go to any other iTunes U site and view videos that are two hours long and it takes less than a minute to play. So I know its not my network bandwidth or I wouldn't be able to view other sites. I use an iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of Ram, bought specifically for iTunes U administration. I don't know what else to do. Any help or advice will be truly appreciated.

    I have also found our iTunes U site extremely slow for the past few weeks. It also took a long, long time to log into Admin. But at least for us, there has been a noticeable change (for the better) in the last few days.

  • Trying to connect second laptop wirelessly but can only use numbers in password field

    I've connected my Mac and another PC to my Valet Plus with no trouble.  The third PC, running Windows XP, can only be connected as a guest.  When trying to connect to this laptop to the home network, the password will only accept numbers.
    I've tried changing the PC's security settings, disabling the firewall, etc.  Has anyone experienced this problem? 

    What is the service pack on your computer?
    If it is windows XP service pack 1 then I think you will need to upgrade the OS to SP3. Because SP1 will not support WPA/WPA2 security mode.
    When you install the router using Cisco connect, the wireless security on the router will be WPA/WPA2.

  • Error while trying to connect to a remote SQL Server DB using multiconnect

    As part of our business process, we need to connect to a SQL Server DB external to SAP.
    We have done the following:
    1. We set up an ODBC connection on our SAP sandbox server to the external SQL server DB. 
    Name: sdsdev
    Connection string: sdsdev\sqlexpress2008
    2. We tested the ODBC connection from within ODBC and it works perfectly
    3. Using transaction: DBCO we have set up a DB connection known to SAP that we can use in ABAP to retrieve the data.
        It was set up with exactly the same parameters as with the ODBC.
        We used the following connection string so it would know to use the ODBC DBSL profile parameters, with the DSN name  
    being the same as defined in the ODBC:  See below ...
        DB connection: AR_INTERFACE
        DBMS: MSS
        User Name: ARTransfer
        Password: ******
        Conn info: MSSQL_DSN=sdsdev
    4. We also made sure we installed the DBSL dynamic library (DLL) on the R/3 system server.
    5. We ran a small test program to test connectivity ... as below ...
         exec sql .
             connect to 'AR_INTERFACE'
         end exec.
         right after the above command we check the system log for status.  It failed with the following message:

  • Extreme slowness with Juniper Network Connect

    Hi there,
    I recently switched from cable modem to fios and I am very frustuated with fios as the company vpn speed slows down gradually (while I never had any issue with cable modem) to 0.5 mbps from 50 mbps in a few hours. I often try restarting modem and reconnecting which helps sometimes. My company IT reported no problem and my colleagues on cable also report no problems with vpn. My desktop is directly connected to the cable modem via wire (not wireless).
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thank you,

    While this is not a Windows 10 specific issue (it happens in Windows 8.x, too), I wanted to discuss it here to see there was a solution.
    When using either of my corporation's two VPN options, Juniper Network Connect and Juno Pulse, I cannot use any Modern apps that have network access.  BUT, this does not seem to effect Microsoft's Modern apps, like Mail or the Store.  
    As an example, Nextgen Reader, cannot synch with Feedly when I am connected to the VPN, but it works fine otherwise.  
    Yet, I can synch my OneNote notebooks or I can visit the Windows Store, so it doesn't seem to be strictly a problem with the VPN software. 
    Does anyone know of a work-around for this?  Is this something that can be better addressed in Windows 10 so this is no longer an issue?
    Do you you the VPN in Windows settings or install a client. My organizations info-structure won't allow to connect using the VPN built into Windows 8/10. In Windows 8 i installed the client and enter my companies connect information and it works. But the
    same thing doesn't work in Windows Technical Preview.

  • Satelltie L855-s5155 freeze at login screen or was extremely slow - now need windows 8or 8.1

        I purchased this laptop about a year and half ago.  I have used it a total of 5 times.  It mainly remains in the laptop back int he closet. 
    Model L855-S5155
    Serial Number: XXXXXXXXX
        I turned it on last week and it booted up to the login screen.  I typed my password in and nothing happened.  The cursor was flashing in the password field but when I typed my password, the cursor moved two spaces and remained there for a couple of hours at which time I had to turn it off by holding the power button for 5 seconds.  I repeated this process several times.  At one time it took my password and the dots started going in circles to I guess load the live tiles.  I left that go for about 4 hours at which time I turned it off again.
        Upon turning it on I did get an error message on a bably blue screen that stated 'Windows was not shutdown properly' and it restarted.  At the Toshiba splash screen the dots going in a circle showing that something was loading so I left that go for about 6 hours while it remained still at that screen. 
        At one point I had gotten the maintenance screen upon boot up so I tried a system restore.  That didn't work.  Same issues.  Unfortunatley I hadn't made a restore / recovery disk which I guess being Toshiba that should have been my first task.   As I reviewed the boards I found that the system never shuts down and at the current situation I was in not being able to login to Windows I had to resort to removing the battery for a minute and restarting the laptop to get to certain areas. 
        I attmepted to reset the PC from the maintenance screen in hopes that would fix the problem.  I had upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, but it was working after the upgrade so I didn't worry about it.  Unfortunatley that didn't work.  When it restarted it remained on the Toshiba slpash screen for 10 hours with the dots going around in a circle.  Knowing some processes take a little time, I have been leaving the laptop on for a while to make sure certain processes have time to finish but 10 hours to me might have been too long after a recovery.   Everytime I turn on the laptop the Toshibal splash screen would come up and the dots would go around in circles.  I left it go over night  one night to see if there was some process that needs longer to run, but no. 
        Being that I purchased my laptop with windows 8, I would like to have windows 8 on it.  Unfortunately I need to laptop for a project so I decided maybe I should put windows 7 on the computer just to get t running so upon restarting the laptop and getting the BIOS screen there was screen that came up that would delete all partitions.  I guess and HDD Recovery. Now that I have run that of course I have, what I think, may be a clean hard disk to start from.
        Something I did notice when I began to install windows 7 is that my 750 gb hard drive only shows 698 gb of free space.  Being that there aren't any disk maintenance tools to let me know if there are bad sectors due to a possibly bad hard disk or is the windows 8 image still hiding on there.  Doubtful if the partitions were removed.
        Can anyone tell me what happened?  Is there anyway to get windows 8 back onto the laptop without buying it again? Any assistance would be greatfully accepted.
    [Moderator edit to remove serial number.]

    If no recovery media was created, you can obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.

  • Why is craigslist extremely slow? tried multiples browsers

    I have tried chrome/safari/firefox. It is slow loading. All other websites work prefect

    Heavy demand on their servers maybe. Heavy demand on the routers and other nodes between you and the Graig's List servers maybe. Who knows? Try a trace to their servers and see if there is a bottleneck in the route.

  • Backup Extremely Slow. Tried Everything. Please Help.

    I am doing my first backup with an external HD (160GB, USB 2.0) and Time Machine. It has been an hour and only a little bit more than 1GB out of 90GB have been backed up. I googled around and tried everything including reformatting the HD to Mac OS Expanded (Journal), turning off spotlight, unmounting and remounting the HD, removing "inprogress" file... None of them work for me. I don't have anti-virus software installed, either.
    That the backup will take 4 days is unthinkable. Could anyone help?

    Does that hour include the "preparing" time? If so, that's not a good measure. On your initial backup, TM does a "deep traversal," examining every folder on your system, before it starts copying data. With 90 gb to back up, that might take half an hour or more.
    Also, your TM disk may not be large enough to keep backups for long. The rule of thumb is, TM needs 2 - 3 times the space of what it's backing-up. This varies greatly, of course, depending on how you use your Mac, but TM may not be able to keep your backups for very long.
    I googled around and tried everything including reformatting the HD to Mac OS Expanded (Journal),
    Did you set the right *Partition Map Scheme?* It must be GUID for an Intel Mac, +Apple Partition Map+ for a PPC Mac. Check the first line of the drive via Disk Utility. If that's not right, you must stop TM and reformat it properly. See item 5 of the +Frequently Asked Questions+ post at the top of this forum.
    removing "inprogress" file...
    That is dangerous and usually unnecessary and just makes the next backup run longer. Do it only as a last resort.
    Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).
    An explanation of some of the common messages are in item 7 of the post referenced above.
