I'm a little confused.

I have turned off system restore on this new XP machine and it still takes
forever to connect to "Local Server" and then even longer to connect to my
database.

I have another Windows XP development machine that does not have the system
restore turned off and yet when I open IBConsole and double click on the
"Local Server" it connects instantly and then when I double click to connect
to the database, it connect instantly too. We have NOT renamed the GDB
extensions either. This computer is also using IB 6.01

Anything else to check?

Thanks

Mike
