Hi:
I am running Windows 2000 Server on a stand-alone web server, IBM xSeries 200 server., about 960 MHz with 512 MB RAM. 28 GB free space on a 28 GB hard drive. I have a cable internet connection and a WatchGuard SOHO as a firewall.

When my students (30 of them) try to access my web sites from the classroom, my server hangs. I am not logging them on as local users. Some of my sites are static, On the rest, I
use the .NET framework and forms authentication with a web.config file. I use a datareader to check their password from a database. Everything seems to work fine until too many people connect. Sometimes all 30 can get on and sometimes only a few before it hangs. It happens even with my static websites.

Any suggestions?
