Hi everyone, I need a bit of help with my server.
I'm running a SLES 10.1 server on my home network.
On it I run apache to maintain a simple website, squid to help me get around my schools web filter, vsftp so my friends and I can store files on it, and icecast for broadcasting my music over the net for wherever I happen to be.
Now my probelm is, after having it on for 2 or 3 hours my network gets very very slow. It is fine during that 2 to 3 hour period, but after that the speed on any other computer is unbearable. I have looked through the log files and I know that nobody else is accessing it but me.
So does anyone have an ideas? what can cause a server to run fine on a network for a few hours then have it slow down to a snails pace?
I know for a fact that its my server btw because when I turn it off the speed of my network shoots up instantly.
thanks in advance for the help
