SYMPTOMS
If you apply a network throttling setting by using a network device such as a switch, the network transmission speed on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer may be lower than it is on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer. This may affect the performance of streaming programs, such as Microsoft Windows Media Services 9, on the Windows Server 2003-based computer.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 have different minimum retransmission timeout settings.
