Renewing IP makes the connection faster??

[jhkim]

Today I had user complained that it takes her outlook awhile to read the mail in the reading pane. I checked it out and yeah....when I click on one of her mails from inbox it took sometime to open up in the reading pane. I checked for spyware and found none. I pinged the mail server and the time was good.

While trying this and that, I renewed her IP and it fixed her problem.

Now I am just wondering what could have gone wrong here that renewing IP fixed the problem?

I appreciate any help.

luck of the irish.

i.e. fluke occurrence - simply renewing the ip won't make e-mail faster unless there are some serious isp problems.

Thanks for the reply...I forgot to mention...we have MS exchange running. User's outlook was having hardtime loading e-mails on the reading pane from server.

Have you made any dns changes on any of your servers lately?

I'd agree with orakle22. Unless there has been a change on the network recently that affects DNS/MX record, renewing an IP on a client PC would just be a coincidence.

Thanks guys~ We have outside IT technician take care of our servers and they were working on fixing veritas on our exchange server. I will check with them if they made any changes.
