I have this weird problem with apache. First, a little bit of background:

I'm using XAMPP - but i tested wamp and vanilla apache, various versions - to do local (php) development on a Win7 Pro x64 machine. I also have a public IP, which is accessible from the outside. This works just great, speedy and peachy.

However, if I'm trying to access the apache from another PC/iPhone/whatever in the network, it takes a lot. a lot! to connect. However, after the connection is made, files are downloaded pretty fast (8mb/sec).

Also, i noticed that Vagrant is very slow (is what made me to think on this as an issue; first i was thinking that is only my apache configuration)

So, long story short:

  • user from outside the network can access my PC with no problem
  • local users must wait ~10-20 seconds for a simple page load (php, html, doesn't matter)
  • xampp installed on another pc on network works ok
  • lan sharing works just fine
  • firewall is off, antivirus (avast free) was off for tests

I'm on win 7 pro, updated.

Things to consider:

  • apache run on port 80 or 81 or 8081 or whatever, same result every time
  • changing OS (e.g.: use mac) it's not an option :)

So, what the hell should i look for? Any ideas?

Thanks!

most likely have something to do with DNS

* UPDATE *

run ipconfig /all look up at your DNS server, and try to resolve hosts that is hitting your apache, run it against every DNS server that you see in the list, at least one of them will take long to look up record and that's the one which is causing slowness
