Hi there,

I'm running Informix Online V7.3 on Windows NT4 (sp3).
In the beginning all worked fine, but after about 1 year I observed an
extended delay when I connect to the server (via the native Informix
driver that come with PowerBuilder 5) over the network from any
client.
In between, one and a half year later, I have to wait more than one
minute until a network login is established.
There is no delay, when I launch the client application on the db
server machine. Further more, database transfers over the network are
as fast as before, as soon as the connection is established.
Also, there is no delay or slow down when the Windows file system is
accessed from the client over the network, even while the database
client is just logging in.
I have had the very same problem with the preceeding installation
(Informix Online V7.21). The only way I found to fix it was to
reinstall the server. Thereby I didn't change any settings and also
the clients stayed unchanged.

Thanks for any help,
Erwin
