RE: [ifxmaillist] Slow Connection from clients

Andrea Is IDS the only application / function running on that NT server? or Is this also the PDC? Where is the user verification being done - on the Database Server ot the PDC? How busy is the PDC? How busy is the Database Server? How many users in the NT database (usrmgr?) where the Users are authenticated? (This may be the real problem). Is there any NT Terminal Server Edition machine involved?

No problems connecting to the Informix server from the application installed on the server (immediate connection). 6-7 sec of delay connecting from the client apps. Then normal performance using the application. We've tried: Defining an Informix/Informix user (which is the predefined IDS account ) as a local (workstation) user on the clients. Connecting to the server using the IP address (not the alias) ....but we've an immediate reply also pinging the host alias, not only pinging the server IP address... I think that our setnet32 connecting parms are correct (infact we've a connection). I think the problem could be in "resolving" something. But "something" what? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated Andrea
