Interview Question in Visual Studio 2003


 

Interview Question :: Slow Internet with Windows Server 2003

I'm currently using Windows Server 2003 at home as a stand-alone OS to develop software. It's set up as a domain controller, but no other computers are connected to it. It exists on it's own hard drive and when I want to use it I shut down my computer, take out the hard drive with XP on it (I have swappable hard drive bays), insert the drive with Windows Server 2003 on it, and fire it up.

The problem i'm having is that when I need to connect to the internet, it takes a LONG time for the pages to open, or sometimes they don't open at all. I've entered all of my most used website addresses into Trusted Sites, but still I get errors. When I connect to Visual Studio, sometimes I cannot access MSDN or the ASP.NET Configuration Page (which I need for developing websites).

I'm totally baffled. When my XP drive is in and running my internet connection functions normally, and I almost never have problems accessing the internet.

Im using IE 6 and broadband connection

Help!
