Hello All,

I am running IIS 4.0 on Windows Terminal Server. I have setup the terminal server to host a web site. All of the perl scripts are executing, and the database access is working properly. Everything essentially is working fine, until I take the computer off the network. Once I take the machine off the network everything takes 10 times as long to process.

My guess is that it is trying to get the internet first, then coming back to itself. I have tried using the machines IP address, as well as localhost and 127.0.0.1. The scripts eventually execute, but I am using this for a demo offline so speed is an issue.

I finally got everything to speed up by setting the Security of IE5.5 in the Local Internet Settings. I have set the PC's IP address, as well as 127.0.0.1 and localhost as Local Internet Settings. Now everything works fine but a DOS window opens running CMD.exe. Does anyone know how I can get this window to stop opening?

Ciao,

Brandon
