2003 server and 2 using later versions of windows xp exerience about
30 to 60 second delay in initial access to interbase. Other sites are
fine. Also just got a new laptop which also has the delay. I've
checked the firewall and antivirus but still occurs with them off.

Check with hyperthreading turned off (in the BIOS) and see if that
helps. I don't believe it is a problem with Firebird but don't quote
