We're using Squid as our proxy and filter for the Student PCs - which are
running a mix of Win98, Win2k, and WinXPpro. The Faculty Macs all run
throught it as well (from a different subnet).
We can have all the Win98 and 2k machines, AND all the Macs running on the
Web, and nobody complains about slowness. BUUUUUUUT.......when more than 3
WinXP machines jump on the web, the XP machines slow to a crawl. It takes
75 seconds for the Google homepage to come up.
Does anyone know of any WinXP specific tweaks we need to make to Squid so
the blasted XP machines will stay happy?
