Hello All-
I have a client that is using FileMaker 9 Pro and FMS 9 hosting a total of 8 related files. FMS is on a Server 2003 machine and 10 clients are accessing it via XP machines.
The problem is this, when launching the Main files that stores the Login script that subsequently opens up the 7 other related files, the login process takes about a minute and a half. Under NORMAL condition this takes about 10 secs. The difference in login times is making our clients a lil mad.
Things that I have notice that is somewhat different from most server-client relationship are:
1. Client is on a different subnet that server
2. Client Profile is stored on a Network Drive using Novell to manage profiles.
I really do not understand the effects of the above mention differences, it was simply an observation. All the port forwarding seems to be intact and amazingly enough once the files are open FileMaker functionality and speed resumes to normal.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope my explanation of the problem was concise enough. Thanks in advance for any insight or possible solution to the problem
