Client COM Port mapping slows down system! help!

[Vyko]

Hello,

W2K SP4 + MetaFrame XPe FR3 + ICA Client PN32 7.00

We have a site connected by a high latency frame relay (64Kbps, 800ms RTT)which uses Citrix to run some apps. One of the apps needs a COM1 printer to print document hardcopies.

Everything works fine until we mapp the remote COM1 port. From that moment on every operation gets to a screaching halt. Launching a session takes 4 minutes compared to the previous 40sec, and the apps get unusable.

I have applied the Best Practices Optimizations for wWans that Citrix provides but the main problem with COM port mapping isn't solved.

Has anybody found this issue before?

Thanks!

There are one or two issues with W2k SP4 - I'd hold off putting it on live servers for the time being, if I were you - until it's proven (and bug-fixed!)

This issue appears on this list;

Hope this helps
