> I have this program running at 10 sites. Two sites using windows

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.

It could be DNS related, are you using IP Address or DNS name for
connection? Personally ive not noticed any lag using W2k3/XP, infact FB1.5
appeared to have improved connection times.
