hi helen,
thank you, good to hear ...
then i make something wrong ..
i am not happy to write about a bug, i only replied to a message here,
with the same problem ...

okay

1.
no IPX/SX no other protocols, i have poor TCP
TCP transport is rush, 100Mbit/sec, Cisco Switches, fast network ...

2.
Yes 2 processors, i tried all Affinity settings, my best result is with
CPU_AFFINITY = 0 in ibconfig,
if i use CPU_AFFINITY = 1 or 2 then one of the processors is going often to
100%;
i used also the standard ibconfig, its the same with the connecting
problems,
then i give the database and FB1 to another computer (Athlon 1600 XP
Processor),
single, -> same connecting problem

i see some things i don't understand, i have 256 MB mem but FB doesn' use
it,
i have 40 clients on this server ..
if running FB on one CPU this is going to 100% if 3 or 4 connecting at the
same time ...
i hope you don't missunderstand me, the connecting problem is the same,
also if one 1 user is working and will connect ...

3. the server is only for FB1, nothing else, no fileserver ... and so on...
for support another application is VNC what i use sometimes ...

4. i don't use tables, i use only querys, and they are all closed,
if the application is starting

5. WITH OLDER BDE-Applications its not a problem, connecting
has allways nearly the same time: 3 seconds
(i tried it now, i will find, what i make wrong ...)

6. i only use the standard values from the IBODatabase,
and set server, database and charset, thats all, then i connect ...

uff

at least:
i am a great fan of FB, but i will solve my problem with the connecting ...

thanks
-gerhard
