RE: Slow Connection from clients

This is typical a name service lookup delay. Check what is the delay doing a nslookup -----Original Message----- From: KuKi [SMTP:bertoni_TOGLIMI_@tecnest.it] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 10:29 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Slow Connection from clients LAN Scenario: Nt server 4.0 SP4; IDS Workgroup Ed. 7.31.TC3 Primary Domain Controller, Wins and Simple TCP/Ip Service installed Some Win NT Workstation clients. 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
