RE: Slow network connection

This sounds like a Windows authentication problem. Where does this take place - locally or at a DNS? How many users exist in the user table - and can you reduce that list? When you dbaccess from the command line on the database server, how long does it take for the authentication and the connection to the engine to take place - still the minute?
