Re: Slow network connection

It seems that you are right. I have found out the following: In dbaccess, a connect takes (less than) a second, except after I have changed the user password: the first connect then takes a minute, subsequent connects take a second again. The very same happens when I start a client application locally. The Windows NT system is connected to a Windows 2000 domain controller with about 200 users. The number of local users however is less than 10. The database does accept local windows users only, but it seems that domain accounts are also checked. Is there a way to specify an account name as local (such as local_domain::acount)? "Murray Wood (IList)" <ifxmaillist@quanta.co.nz> wrote: >This sounds like a Windows authentication problem.
