I pick up an old Dell Poweredge 1500 SC server for free when my office Dell replacement. It always worked great at work. It;s loaded with Vista Business OS. All updates from Microsoft loaded quick as ever and is up to date. I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and it had the anti Malware builtin.
Everything worked great until I finished all the upgrades and updates. I've run Defrag several times but still too slow online.
But, when I connect it to my router at home, it crawls on the internet. the Dell itself is quick as ever, but online at home it's extremely slow.
My home setup is a steady DSL 6.0 speed, and I've tried other PCs and laptop and they work fine online.
The server sometimes takes 60 seconds to change the screen from forward or the back button.
The internet works with the Dell, it's just too slow to really enjoy.
I tried to install the Dell Detect program so Dell can see any problem, but it fails or times out before completing.
Ant ideas about the slow online response?
