After some poking around, I believe I've found the cause of my slow performance issue this morning. I have a Windows 7 laptop, which is sitting on a dock and plugged into a working ethernet port. However, my wireless switch was on, and the machine had a very weak connection to a wireless network. I've seen this before and just never put two and two together. Once I turned off the wireless switch and rebooted the machine, everything began working fine. Does anyone know how I can verify the metrics on my network connections and insure that ethernet is getting priority?
