I'm do not have an active server as of yet but I do
searches on www and those pages are not displaying. this
problem started about a week ago. I update to SP4 through
a CD because the darn thing would quit on me saying it
could connect to site
This question is probably better suited to m.p.w2k.windows_update or
m.p.w2k.networking. However, since you are here, others have reported
the same slow down/timing out issues you are encountering after
installing W2K SP4. Here are two (2) possible resolutions
1. Uninstall and then reinstall the TCP/IP protocol.
OR
2. Set the following registry key to 0 (zero).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Tc
pip1323Oopts
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!: BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE DOING THIS!!!
Usually, I don't like to shout but I will not be held liable when the
stuff hits the fan. ;-p

P.S. What is Tcpip1323Oopts you ask? Well it is based on RFC 1323 of
course. Wise ass comments aside, RFC 1323 refers to "TCP Extensions for
High Performance". Specifically Tcpip1323Oopts deals with windows
scaling and round trip timing. Of the two(2) it is windows scaling is
the one that's causing problems. SP4 heralds a change in Microsoft's TCP
header. Probably more information than you wanted, but there it is. Here
are some links:
