One of my customers had a weird problem ( funny though, i experienced the same thing quite a while back).
They have an ADSL connection...Just the other day, their Internet was off (some line problem with our telecommunications).
Thing is, when they had problems accessing the Net, they also experienced slow INTERNAL connections...especially if they had to retrieve/open files located on other workstations...Anyone here have a answer to this? Their prob automatically recovered after the Internet came on...WEIRD!

DNS timeouts?

...no...Our internal network worked fine...no problems except for files opening /retrieving MAJOR slow when trying to open via lan....The internet was completely down, lol
It's as if ( i THINK ) a "lost ping" must have been running around....lol
Maybe if i just had shut down the workstations and everything, i think it might have repaired itself as well....dunno...
