5 min pause after open session

I am writing a program in Visual Basic that creates a TN3270 session on the fly, puts it into a sub window, and logs on. Almost every system I have tried this on works great except a few. On these systems the line

Set MySession = MySessions.Open(SessionName)

causes the program to stop and wait for around 5 minutes. This only happens on systems with Extra 8.0 and after the 5 minute wait the program runs normally. I have used the program since 6.5 and it always works with no pause. Extra 8.0 works on most systems but not all, so this error is strange. There are no other errors in the program or on the system that I can see and there is no pause when I open and create a new session manually. To make it even more interesting when the program creates the session I can manually log in and type on the created session... Weird! Since I am using the program to run an automated script the 5 minute wait is not really a problem, remember it runs normally after 5 minutes, but it sure is odd. I would also like to use the program for a desktop application but can't if there is going to be this long pause.
