Having an issue with speed with the newer Novel Clients. I will give an example: Have a 486-66 Machine running a 2.5 Client (Win 95) this machine will load and run an application in about 4-5 second range. Where as running this same application from an Win2K box with the 4.83 client it will take anywhere from 30-60 seconds to laod the same application. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should look at to solve this problem. Would appreciate any suggestions. The Server is a Novell 5.1 server running latest service packs.

Thank You
 
The 2.5 client does not support IP (or the last time I checked it didn't), client 4.83 and NetWare 5 do. If you have IP loaded on your server check the protocol you are using for the 2K box, and be sure you have SLP setup properly.

My bet is you are connecting via IP and don't have SLP seup correctly.

Quick fix is to just force the 2K box to use IPX, then read up on SLP (it's pretty simple). Brent Schmidt CNE,Network + [atom]
