Hi

I have a website, which normally is very fast, however in the last week or two we're run into a problem whereby randomly if you click a link the browser will just sit there with the throbber spinning but the page doesn't appear to load

If you click the link again it then responds straight away

This doesn't seem to be limited to Chrome, Firefox or IE as we've tried all with all having same problems

The site is build in ASP and connects to a MySQL database and runs on a dedicated windows 2003 server

The firewalls were changed in the data centre recently to pixies but I've not been able to reproduce the problem outside of the office

Within the office, we have 11 people (only 7 today and still experiencing problems) connected to a 7MB ADSL connection with Eclipse

I have made some changes to the network in the office, namely wiring 4 desks back to the main 24 port switch rather than to small 5 port which then linked on to the 24 port switch... however we were having problems before this was done, and I did this to try and rule out an issue with the switch

We have a backup ADSL connection, so I may try switching to that, or switching to a different router, but do you think this is a likely issue?

Failing that, what else would you check?

Thanks, sorry for length!

Dave
