new server

Hi

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

My problem is:

I created an ASP.net VB app in visual studio 2003. Everything was working fine, but our server broke down. Now, I have transferred the app to the new server (opened the webinfo file in notepad and changed the address, and created a virtual directory in IIS of the new server) The application is now running but for some reason, it is extremely slow... Any ideas???

Thanks in advance....

How does the new server compare to the old server?

Ram?
Disk space?
Processing speed?
OS?

its an upgrade from 2000 machine to 2003 windows server??? So im assuming all the stuff is alot better than the old server... Its only on the website I created that I keep seeing "waiting for http://servername/....

How many web sites do you have up and running? Have they all been migrated to 2003? Do you have more than one web site on this server?

Is it your app that's showing the "waiting for" message, or your browser when you try to connect to the app? If the latter, what's your ping time to the server?

I'd do as Al suggested and do a simple ping or some other time-based test that is not reliant on the HTTP/web server.

This will rule out plain-ol' lag or latency in the internet connection...as opposed to poor performance of the web server software.
